These symptoms got worse for about 6 months and have been gradually improving now for about 6 months. I started vision therapy about a month and a half ago and so far it is helping to speed up my recovery--not only with the visual issues but with all of my symptoms.
I think that in my case, the vision problems have been exacerbating the rest of my symptoms by continually stressing out my brain and preventing it from healing properly.

I have been having a lot of eyes strain in the last few months and especially when on the computer. I am noticing this elevates or spawns a headache and my eyes feel bugged out. I do not wear glasses and had a slight stigmatism as a child but in my last eye exam a year ago I did not require glasses. After reading these posts I beleive it is related to the TBI - should I seek out an eye doc and explain to them what I have been experiencing. I need a magnifier to read and to focus on regular print - bright lights have been a major issues since my accident
