In Malaysia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), often caused by car accidents, is a major cause of death, especially in individuals under 45. TBI can lead to Post Trauma Vision Syndrome (PTVS), characterized by symptoms like dizziness, eye coordination problems, headaches, and reading difficulties. PTVS, resulting from concussions, affects various aspects of vision and balance, leading to ocular motor and binocular dysfunctions as well as convergence and accommodative dysfunctions. Treatment typically involves Neuro-Optometric Vision Rehabilitation, focusing on improving eye movement control, brain-eye coordination, and visual information processing, which helps alleviate these symptoms.

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD), often resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI), is a common condition that disrupts the brain’s ability to merge the two distinct images each eye sends, leading to symptoms like double vision, dizziness, and anxiety. These symptoms can be severe, causing panic attacks and even agoraphobia, and may significantly impact daily functioning and performance at work or school. While traditional anti-anxiety medications might not be effective for BVD-induced anxiety, treatment usually involves prism spatial lenses and possibly neuro-optometric rehabilitation to realign vision and improve eye-brain communication. If experiencing anxiety, a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation is essential, as undiagnosed vision problems like BVD can greatly affect quality of life.
