heres where im worried. 2 months after getting my initial concussion the flashy vision started to go away or die down but i reaggravated my concussion real bad and the flashy vision came back and shows no signs of going away

no amount of sleep and rest seems to cure it. do you think my brain is now on a different wave length and it will be like this forever because its not gonna switch back to the way it was and this is how it will stay

ive went to 2 optometrist , a nuero ophthalmologist and a neurologist and they all say they have no idea why im getting flashes. its starting to ruin me and if its permanent i dont want to deal with it anymore who knows what will happen come my 1 year in
Are the flashes always there or do they come and go? Auras are not uncommonly associated with migraine headaches. In any case talk to your optometrist about getting tinted glasses of some sort if you're not willing to wear sunglasses all the time, I tend to just wear sunglasses when my photo sensitivity is bad and find it helps quite a bit.
