I also had similar problems with my vision post-concussion. I couldnt read without getting a headache for the first few months. I would read with one eye shut sometimes, but just focusing my attention that much was torture. I also had an eye exam 3 days post concussion and it was completely normal.
Its so hard because you are in school right now, but i think most doctors would tell you to be on cognitive rest as well...which means, no work, no studying, no school. I have a friend who had a concussion at 17 and was taken out of school by her neurologist for 5 months. It was so hard for her, and she had to postpone college because of her long lasting symptoms, but its with the hopes she will get better sooner. Good luck.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability. Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again! I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients. |
