Hi,

Regarding your vision issues, I would see an eye specialist. I took my son to a very good eye specialist in Boston because he complained of blurred vision about a month after he got a concussion. The eye specialist says it's common to have vision problems after a concussion and typically your eyes do go back to normal as you recover and so it's temporary.

In my son's case, he prescribed glasses for him to wear in the meantime. He likes wearing them and says it really helps. I asked the doctor about vision therapy but he felt in my son's case that it was important to relax the muscles because he's been straining his eyes trying to see. He also felt it might help his headaches.

So far, it's only been a week and it's working out well for my son.

I know there are different types of vision problems you can have from a concussion but if you find a good eye specialist, I bet he could help you.

Good luck!
