Brain injuries and concussions can cause a wide range of vision problems. Because the pathways in the brain have been disrupted, the patient can experience blurred vision, sensitivity to light, dizziness, double vision, and problems focusing, among other things. While the eyes have the ability to see clearly, the brain has a difficult time processing due to trauma. Neuro-rehabilitation, vision training, and prism lenses are effective treatments for the visual symptoms of head injuries and concussions.
