I Saw a new near a week ago, this was my 3rd. The difference between the two earlier is that he specialize in concussion, or it is an area of focus of his.

His assistant re-did all the boring concussion tests on me, walking straight, following movement with me eyes,....

to remind you: I am almost 10 months past my concussion and I am still not able to run without get lightheaded again. And my headaches have been bad until very recently...

Anyway, so the doc said: he can see the problem at the eyes level. Specifically, my eyes are not linearly tracking movement, but rather jumping around.

I was a bit shocked, I thought this was permanent. He said no, but strongly advised me to go an see a specialist who will diagnose my eyesight issue. He said there are therapies that should help heal faster, as I should not be still dealing with that.

His theory is that my brain is making to much effort "seeing", gets tired, gives me headache and lightheadedness. Why does it happen when I run? I asked. He said, it is very strenuous on the eyes. Well guess what, this happen also after I hit my head against the wall at night by mistake (tiny knocks same effect on headaches and dizziness)...

I am very skeptic but going to do the test. But then again, if he is not right, why the hell am I still dealing with that after what was supposed to be a short recovery!!

"was supposed to be a short recovery!! " Nobody can make this statement with any level of validity. Those that say this just cause undue frustration for many concussion sufferers.

It's very common to have visual problems such as yours after brain injury. Unfortunately
much of it goes undiagnosed while people suffer needlessly.

I had the same thing happen - it took appointments to many different doctors for over a year until one of them found an eye issue and referred me to a specialist. He was very surprised it hadn't been noticed earlier. Frustrating, but all we can do is move ahead. It is good when they find answers.

I can't give you much of an end goal from my experience as I only recently started visual therapy. The prism glasses help with reading if that is an issue of yours.

Good luck and hope this is the first step to getting things back in order!

Did he give you a referral? If not, you can look for practitioners at http://www.braininjuries.org or http://www.nora.cc
