Introduction[edit | edit source]
Post traumatic vision Syndrome occur after a traumatic brain injury(TBI), Cerebrovascular insult or a neurovascular incident( Cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, concussion, whiplash)[1]. Trauma influence vision depending on parts of brain and external eye structures involved. Muscle imbalances in extra ocular eye muscles affect visual function as it depends on both motor and sensory components of vision. Sensory component of vision is dependant on proper motor function. Extraocular muscles align our eyes allowing to use both eyes together to perceive and process information[2]. Affected visual processing mechanisms cause altered ability to comprehend and process visual and sensory feedback causing dysfunction in vision. Following a neurological insult various symptoms related to vision like headaches, diplopia, vertigo, asthenopia, photophobia, inability to focus and tracking objects can be noticed.
