March is Brain Injury Awareness Month!
Visual problems are often overlooked during initial treatment of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in some cases, symptoms may not be present until sometime following the injury. Patients may notice changes in their vision following a concussion or some other head trauma and that should be a sign to immediately contact their eye care professional to determine the cause of the vision change and start of treatment and/or referral to a specialist.
TBI patients are often very light sensitive and can benefit from wearing special FL-41 filters that protect against unpleasant glare. Eschenbach carries a line of Acunis FL-41 filters that are available in four different frame styles and three tints. Acute light sensitivity is also a common side effect of migraines and other eye diseases and FL-41 filters can help them too.
