It is very common to experience changes in vision following a brain injury. The visual system is very complex, and there are many ways it can be disrupted.
 

Some of the common visual changes include:
 

• Change in visual acuity

• Blurred vision

• Double vision

• Poor depth perception

• A cut in your visual field

• Eye pain/strain
   

Occupational therapy (OT) can help to address some of these changes. During your occupational therapy evaluation, the therapist will assess your vision, including asking about the symptoms above. You will then be given exercises to work on during therapy and at home to help improve your symptoms. Your occupational therapist can also provide recommendations about how to modify your activities and/or environment to make tasks easier.
