Double Vision 15 years after TBI

Posted by kshort49 @kshort49, 2 days ago

Hi-about 15 years I fell and got a TBI. I received therapy for the vision and balance problems that resulted. I think that I adjusted pretty well. Recently (over the past 6 months or so) I have been having vision problems again. It seems like when I move my head, turning right or left, it seems that my eyes have a hard time keeping up with my head-lagging behind. Recently, after bending over to pick up something, upon standing up, I had double vision for about a minute-no dizziness or vertigo. Blinking my eyes didn't correct it. I waited a bit and it corrected itself. I had some double vision after the TBI but I think I just learned to cope with it and got used to it. This was worse than that. Can this still be an effect of the TBI. I'm going to make an appointment with my neurologist (I haven't had to see him for about 5 years) to see what he thinks. I was just wondering if any of you have had things like this. (I'm 76 years old, so this is something I need to be careful about). Thanks.

Dear @kshort49
I had a TBI (brain-injury) at 2012 and I lost a lot of things like my right-side of my eyes is not there. No more driving or my cars or MCs (motorcycles). Sure, I can move my right-side eyes but no more driving when you setup straight when driving. Also, my eyes, one higher higher than the other one. I can’t see a 2 eyes.

I has a bicycle accident that hit the right-head on the hope of my brain.

Thx,
