I believe that I experienced a serious decrease in my peripheral vision for the first 8 months or so after the accident I was in and I didn't even realize it. It's healed pretty well since then. I want to go to an eye therapist to see what else is going on... if anything... A lot of research has proven that people who sustain concussions can have a lot of damage to their vision like this and other issues -but it's rarely caught by doctors or explored. It usually corrects itself over time and can heal faster with therapy.

Be careful!

Independence is very important but so is your continued safety as well as the other people on the road. 21 months ago, I sustained the head injury that I'm still recovering from in an auto accident. If you're not able to drive as well as you were before the accident, please be very careful about driving!! I know you wouldn't want to give someone else a concussion because you're driving skills aren't tiptop!
