how concussions & brain injuries affect your vision
Your brain, eyes, and other senses are deeply interconnected, with your eyes considered an extension of your brain. Unfortunately, concussions and other traumatic brain injuries can disrupt these structural and functional connections, impacting your vision. Studies show that over 60% of concussion patients experience one or more vision-related issues.
Vision deficiencies caused by concussions
Common symptoms of a concussion include headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. However, when it affects your vision, some of the symptoms you may experience include, but are not limited to:
- Blur
- Double vision
- Ghosted/Shadowed vision
- Light sensitivity
- Motion Sensitivity
- Visual Snow
- Binocular vision dysfunction
- Tracking problems
