- Attention

Our team is comprised of highly skilled, trained, and friendly professionals who are prepared to help you or a loved one get through this trying time. Traumatic brain injuries should not be taken lightly because they can cause long-term/permanent health problems if left untreated.
We believe it is important that individuals understand the correlation between traumatic brain injury and vision. Here are some details you should be aware of when understanding this injury and how to seek proper treatment.
What is traumatic brain injury?
Traumatic brain injury is a sign of brain dysfunction that is caused by a blow to the outside of an individual’s head. This injury can be caused by a variety of factors including car accidents, physical contact through sports (for example head-to-head contact in football), and/or violent blows to the head. If you find yourself in any of these situations, it is imperative that you seek assistance as soon as possible. Leaving this injury untreated can cause major problems both physically and with your vision.
How can this injury affect your vision?
It’s important to understand how a brain injury can affect the rest of your body. In particular, a traumatic brain injury can affect an individual’s vision in a variety of ways.
Taking a strong blow to your head can result in blurred vision (temporarily, long-term, or permanently), eye fatigue, double vision, or, in the worst-case scenario, permanent vision loss. If you find yourself experiencing this injury to any degree, it’s crucial to get treated immediately before the effects become worse.
Proper treatments for traumatic brain injuries
Many individuals with traumatic brain injuries do not understand the treatment options that they have available. There are a variety of treatments that can be used depending on the injury’s severity. An extended amount of rest is the simplest form of treatment.
Higher levels of treatment include medications (such as diuretics like Mannitol), surgery (such as decompressive craniectomy), rehabilitation, and therapy. When you seek medical treatment from our facility, we will properly assess your injury to determine the appropriate treatment for your needs.
