How a concussion can cause a lazy eye after a personal injury, or other head injury.

Dr. Kalie McCartin, Neuro optometrist Clinic: visual processing Institute Locations – West Los Angeles – Torrance – Newport Beach – San Juan Capistrano This is the video explains in detail how a brain injury can cause visual, processing deficiencies, binocular vision disorders, and even a lazy eye or eye turn. Because the visual processing system has several pathways that travel down the brainstem, had impact is not required in order to cause damage to any of the visual processing skills. And many patients that I have seen, whiplash has actually caused more symptoms and decrease in quality of life than other patients who have had direct impact to a steering wheel or window. Visual processing skills are not skills we are born with and must learn and develop, which means any brain injury runs the risk of damaging these developed skills. I hope this video helps explain how deficiencies can occur and cause life altering symptoms. Some Other Common Signs and Symptoms of Visual Processing Problems Include: Poor Focus/Attention Double vision (even if occasional) Blurred vision (even if occasional) Poor Depth Perceptions Headaches Car Sickness Brain Fog Dizziness Clumsiness Poor Test Taking Behavioral Problems Reading Problems Poor Comprehension Slow Reading Rate Skipping Words or Lines
