Objective: To identify a form of binocular vision dysfunction (vertical heterophoria) in a
traumatic brain injury (TBI) population and to assess the effect of individualized prismatic spectacle lenses on postconcussive symptoms.

Conclusions:

  1. TBI can cause VH.
  2. Treatment with prismatic lenses led to a 72% subjective reduction of post-concussive symptoms.
  3. Treatment lasted on average 3 1/2 months.

    Interesting in seeing how TMI can cause, VH. I would love any help I can get with this sickness.. It has been driving us all to a path of “nothing can be done for it”.

    • We received your questionnaire. We tried to contact you by phone but the number was not in service. Check your emails. We would love to speak with you further about your symptoms to see if we can help.
      All the best,
