In 2019, Dr. Quaid co-authored a landmark book chapter in a medical textbook on visual dysfunction in concussion in conjunction with the Chief of Johns Hopkins Neuro-Ophthalmology: Neurosensory Disorders in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

In addition to his training to become an eye doctor in the UK, Dr. Quaid attained his PhD in 2005 at UWSO and his USA Board Certification in Visual Rehabilitation in 2011. He has delivered over 550 lectures worldwide to optometrists, physicians and allied healthcare professionals. Dr. Quaid lectures in particular about proper visual assessment “beyond 20/20” in both concussion cases and also in reading based learning difficulties. He makes a point of making his lectures very visual and uses real patient footage and demos to explain his interventions and research. Dr. Quaid also makes it a priority to publish data from his clinics to add to the evidence base for vision therapy and has a new book that has recently been published to help parents of children with visual issues interfering with reading skills: Learning to See = Seeing to Learn. Dr. Quaid also published in a chapter of the book A New Hope in Concussion by Dr. Lawrence Komer MD.
