8. Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury can have many effects on the body, including blurred eyesight, loss of peripheral vision, and total loss of vision in one or both eyes. When this occurs due to a brain injury, treatment can be difficult to administer, as brain injuries are notoriously tough to resolve.
Amaurosis fugax may also be experienced alongside troubles with depth perception, eye pain, discomfort, motion sickness, and maintaining normal movement. Processing visual information may also be impaired.10‘Vision Problems and Traumatic Brain Injury.’ Vision Problems and Traumatic Brain Injury | Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC), msktc.org/tbi/factsheets/vision-problems-and-traumatic-brain-injury.
