Hi-

2 years ago I was in a car accident in which I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I've had a ton of trouble since then, including field deficits in my left eye and the need for glasses.

Throughout the past 2 years, I have had about six experiences where I had lightning bolt like flashes across my field of vision. They are annoying, but are unrelated to my headaches and migraines. My rehab Dr. sent me back to the neuro-opthamologist when I brought this up at my last appointment.

The neuro-opthamologist called it "visual seizures" and has ordered an EEG.

Is this actually a seizure? (Nothing is shaking). Will it show up on the EEG since they are so infrequent? Would I be considered impaired in terms of my driver's license?

If someone could guide me to more information, I would greatly appreciate it. I"m having a hard time finding information on the internet.

Thanks in advance

Mindy
