Did you know that up to 90% of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors experience visual problems? The eyes and brain are deeply connected โ€” vision is processed by a large portion of the brain, making the eyes one of the first places the effects of a brain injury can show up.

Common vision changes after a brain injury can include:
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Blurred or double vision
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Light sensitivity
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Difficulty reading or focusing
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Changes in peripheral vision

If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury and noticed changes in your vision, a comprehensive eye exam can be an important part of your recovery journey. You don't have to navigate it alone.

February is American Heart Month โ€” and your heart and eye health are more connected than you might think. Conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol can affect the blood vessels in your eyes and impact vision over time. Taking care of your heart helps protect your sight, too.

A comprehensive eye exam can catch early signs of concern before vision is affected.
