Concussions & Vision Problems

Thanks to Dr. Len Press, my friend & colleague, for a great blog on the “Concussion Crisis:  the Silent Epidemic of ABI (acquired brain injury).

Concussions and brain injuries have recently been brought to the public’s attention.  The stories include many athletes, Rep. Gifford and soldiers returning from the war.

Prevention is the key.  However, if injury occurs, don’t forget about the impact that these injuries have on the visual system.  Rehabilitative vision therapy is often necessary, but not always available in the hospital settings.
