Vision Issues (PCS)
 
I have been having strange vision issues, but am not sure if they are concussion related, and if so whether there are any treatments for it. Please share your vision issues/symptoms/treatments. Thank you.

Sometimes my vision is foggy. I feel like white smoke is blocking my vision. (Initially, I actually wondered if something was burning and producing smoke).

I see A LOT of floaters(I had floaters before but now they are so many and are limiting my vision)

I see something blurry moving through my eyes. They look like tiny heat waves and are constantly there. It is usually difficult to focus or read because these things throw off my focus.

I see light hues a lot.

Have your been assessed by a neuro ophthalmologist ? Many have had good success with such an assessment.

Only an ophthalmologist can determine if you have a problem and what can be done about it.

Floaters are very common with PCS. They do not actually increase with PCS. Instead, the brain loses its ability to ignore them so they appear to have increased. Most floaters are dirt in your tears. A good eye wash with drops could help wash them out.

Do they move when you blink or change the direction of your gaze ?
