Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion can cause a wide range of visual problems that can significantly affect a person's quality of life.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Concussion, a form of mild TBI, might be associated with long-term neurological symptoms.

The effects of TBI and concussion are not restricted to cognition and balance. TBI can also affect multiple aspects of vision; mild TBI frequently leads to disruptions in visual functioning, while moderate or severe TBI often causes structural lesions.

How Can Neuro-Ophthalmology Help?

Neuro-ophthalmology has training in neurology and ophthalmology and can diagnose and treat various visual problems associated with brain injury.

These specialists are trained to evaluate the visual system’s function, including the eyes, optic nerves, and visual pathways in the brain.

These tests may include visual acuity testing, visual field testing, color vision testing, and evaluation of eye movements.

Why Specialized Care is Important

Concussions can cause various vision problems, including double vision, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty focusing. These problems can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life and ability to perform daily tasks, such as driving or reading.

Seeking specialized care from neuro-ophthalmology is essential for several reasons. First, neuro-ophthalmology has the expertise to accurately diagnose and treat vision problems associated with concussions. They can identify specific visual deficits and develop a treatment plan to address them.

Second, neuro-ophthalmology can access advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options unavailable to other eye doctors. This includes specialized imaging tests that can identify subtle changes in the visual pathways in the brain.

Finally, neuro-ophthalmology work closely with other healthcare providers, including neurologists and physical therapists, to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with concussions.

DID YOU KNOW?

One study found that a large percentage of people with traumatic brain injury (90%) or a stroke (86.7%) had issues with their eye movements. Specifically, problems with focusing and aligning the eyes were more common in those with traumatic brain injury, while crossed eyes and problems with a nerve called the cranial nerve were more common in those who had a stroke. The difficulty in moving the eyes in a coordinated way was similar in both groups.
