Oh yes,

Since my injury I have had blurred vision, light sensitivity and huge problems with balance and a lean forward and to one side.

An assessment showed both eyes aren't working as a team and that I have very poor sense of distance - apparently this is why I subconsciously reach out with my hand along walls and pieces of furniture as I walk passed.

I been given a set of lenses with a tint to help my eyes work together and reduce the light sensitivity. I have to wear them mainly indoors and definitely can't drive in them. This is probably due to the strange optical illusions that occur when I turn my head - vertical items look like they are leaning over to the right - so looking at a box if I turned my head it would look like a rhombus / trapezoid.

Once I have got used to the lenses (3 months) I have to go for vision therapy and / or prisms.

Honestly didn't realise how much my vision could be influenced by a head injury
