Default Vision Changes

I just returned home from my optometrist. I've had small but significant changes in my prescription since my last appointment in september.

He stated that he didn't believe it was due to the concussion but more likely related to my miscarriage which I had just before the concussion... I'd like to note though that my vision until the concussion seemed to be fine.... He stated that hormones are the more likely culprit for vision changes and that head trauma is more likely to do physical damage to the eye....

But given that I know my thyroid is now off, and I suspect more hormones are not right either... and I suspect that the hit to the head did soemthing to the pituitary gland... Could I not also draw the conclusion that if my hormones are off due to the concussion, that my vision is off due to hormones, and hence it's a good chance my vision is off due to the concussion?

Anyways, just wondering what the more educated people here think of this... I've had to scrap my very expensive and very new pair of hard contacts since I hit my head and I am now looking at spending big bucks on a new pair of glasses!

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
