I-PAS testing is a diagnostic exam that uses virtual reality goggles to track eye movements. When the brain is injured, these movements often change in ways that standard scans cannot detect. I-PAS helps confirm mild traumatic brain injury by showing impaired eye function, making it a valuable tool for concussion care. (Learn more about recovery under Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.)
During I-PAS testing, you wear VR-style goggles that display visual cues. As you follow the moving patterns, the device measures how your eyes respond. Any delays or abnormal movements may suggest neurological issues linked to brain injury. The test is safe, noninvasive, and completed quickly in a clinic setting. (See related diagnostic tools like Nerve Conduction Study.)
I-PAS can uncover signs of concussion that don’t appear on standard imaging. Abnormal eye movements may connect with symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, balance problems, or difficulty concentrating. By finding these subtle dysfunctions, the test helps doctors confirm brain injury earlier and plan the right treatment path. (Explore supportive care in Physical Therapy.)
The brain controls how the eyes move and track objects. After a mild traumatic brain injury, these signals may be disrupted, causing jerky, slow, or abnormal eye responses. I-PAS testing records these changes to reveal hidden neurological issues. Detecting them early helps guide concussion treatment more effectively. (Read more on our Concussion Testing & Treatment.)
No, I-PAS testing is completely painless and noninvasive. You simply wear goggles, view visual patterns, and allow the system to record your eye activity. There are no injections, no scans, and no downtime required. Patients tolerate the test well, and it provides helpful information without discomfort. (Compare with other non-invasive Diagnostic Studies.)
Once testing is complete, your doctor reviews the eye movement results. If abnormalities are detected, it confirms the possibility of a mild brain injury. This information shapes your care plan, which may include therapy, rest, or further testing. The goal is accurate diagnosis and tailored recovery support.
