I had the beginning of dv now determined to be strabismus, in 2020. I was trying to find a dr to give me a prescription that took away the dv. Then in 2/13/22, I fell backwards and hit my head on a concrete floor. I stood up after, shaking like a leaf. I was so grateful to not break anything as I was 68 years old, that I didn’t realize I should’ve gone to the hospital. Fast forward 1 to 2 months, I started having tinnitus, never had that before, head pains behind my eyes, extra neck pain, fluorescent light problems, decision making problems, depth perception problems etc. I went to many Drs because I thought I had dv problems. That it was just worse because of the uncorrected dv. I had 39 weeks of vision therapy where I wore fresnel prisms on both lens. Done with vt and still had double vision but I felt a little better. My dv was at least stable now and I could wear thick prisms. Last week because I was still not very stable, I turned around in my living room and cracked the same back part of my neck on the window ledge. The symptoms, without dv are all back! I realized I must’ve had a concussion the first time and I had just had another one! I don’t even know what to do anymore.

This is totally what I've had, thanks.

Very helpful channel. Insightful. I now am aware of my neck/eye relationship through movement. I will exercise, eat whole foods, eye exercises. ect.. thank you for your channel.

this is so helpful thankyou Cam

This is best explanation about vision therapy! Thank you. I have vestibular disfunction and researching whether VT in addition to vestibular therapy would be beneficial or not. Seems it would be worth a consultation at the least.

Great video. Differentiate the anatomical systems during a complete and holistic assessment. Grade the individual systems performance and correlate to symptoms. Then create a plan to address each affected system in a compressive and graded way. Make sure the person you see for an assessment will assess comprehensively!

Éxcellent info!!

Great info! Thank you for sharing this. I'm a vision therapist and am trying to expand my knowledge about these other areas!

Wow this is spot on for how I've been feeling since I fell. I had a minor concussion a month ago and I've had pretty much all of these side effects since. I'm starting visual therapy today.

yes, they are call correct

I 100% agree that the neck is very involved with the vision problems I see in clinic. Concussion rehabilitation is very much a team approach. I have often found when patients feel WORSE after vestibular therapy it’s because they have unresolved vision issues. When they’re not making improvements in VT, it’s often a neck issue.

Hi guys, I really appreciate this information. Do you have a person in Kenya who can help me with this? I'm really suffering at the moment.

I have c1 c2 Missalligment I get adjustments by atlas orthogonal and vision therapy and massage therapy. My neck is super stiff what other treatment do I need to add ?

Thank you for explaining this, I’ve got acquired nystagmus this one is not fun, convergence and the entire binocular syndrome etc…etc…it’s horrible. I’m in vision therapy

Got hit at left head have double vision blurry vision pain at neck, dizziness, headache, sleeping problem, sound intolerance, cannot tolerate car breaking feel more dizzy, sometimes two ear with two types of sound from same sound source. Do not know while vision is damaging day by day.

Hey I elbowed my steering wheel because I was pissed off and it jolted my head. Is it possible that I’m concussed I feel dizzy the day after and now I hurts to touch the top of my head?

I was laying on the floor with my fingers resting underneath my head to provide comfort and then for some reason I unconsciously decided to move my fingers from underneath my head and my head hit the floor. Only an inch of impact which would be height of my fingers. I didn’t really think anything of it but it did hurt. Next day I was experiencing nausea and 5 days later nausea came up when playing hockey and I have a sore spot where my head hit the floor. Concussion??

Very good info, but it seemed like Dr Marshall is going over this needed information way to quickly!

Thanks for this video - have you treated anyone with long covid who has concussion symptoms such as jerky pursuits? I have been dx with convergence insufficiency also after covid. I’ve never had a head injury. I’m paying a fortune for visual therapy but making no improvement. My neck was assessed by a physiotherapist and was ok. I don’t have any balance issues. Just bad brain fog, blurred vision, troubles reading and comprehension, painful/tired eyes, light sensitivity. I’m thinking this is all neuro-inflammation but doesn’t seem to resolve. Thanks!

How about total darkness

I went to an Optometrist recommended by my neurologist months ago and had an exam. The optometrist said the mild saccades they saw weren’t enough to warrant visual therapy, but ever since I got a concussion over a year ago my iPhone screen just looks weird. It’s hazy. I try to focus on a letter and it feels like my eyes are shifting or blurring. Blue light filters help but not entirely. I’ve wondered if this visual issue is purely brain fog from inflammation (keto helps brain fog) or do I need to get a test from a neuroptometrist who who specializes in concussion?

I developed an eye turn (esotropia) as an adult 35. I've had mri and blood work all come back clear so the doctors can't find a reason for it. My best theory is that I was doing a lot of near work and got a horrible stiff neck for 3 days, some time after this is when i noticed something being off with my vision. I want to avoid the strabismus surgery and im going to see a vision therapist soon. Does my neck theory sound plausible? I get double vision only at distance i can get fusion but only if i focus hard and even then i can only hold it for a moment. Im afraid surgery is overkill for treating this.

" snowy' for me I'd the pupils response especially dark

Oh interesting, I’ve had visual snow my whole life, I had no idea it could be brought on by concussion

I struggle navigating through rooms, i have feel like I'm drunk but without the good parts haha, Its almost feels like I'm in a trip. If Im stood up and standing still I'm slightly swaying left to right.

What can you get to help your neck that’s is do damage the spasms are constant

I started having a some floaters. Any idea what this could be?

What would the neck issue be and who is best to see for it? I have done pt, chiro, massage, xray, mri- only disc issues are low neck, my issues are upper cervical. Done VT, done some VRT.. people send me in circles..

I've had a cervical spine xray since my fall, does that rule out any neck issues I would have?

So, I have basically all the symptoms you’ve been listing on the screen. I see a concussion therapist for over 3 months now and things improved, gladly. Went to see an optometrist and discovered that my prescription dropped significantly. Still I’m having a lot of brainfog, car sickness and a lot of other symptoms like difficulty with reading, scanning situations etc. Do you think this will become less with ‘just’ a new custom prescription for my glasses or is it still worth looking after my neck and do the whole eye-workout-routine?

Dr Marshall, what is your exact title ? A better question what would someone that does what YOU do be called in the US?

Stacked double vision still there after 10 years deterioration of sight and now cataracts along with most of your symptoms mentioned x Any advice please has ruined my life past 10 years

Would smoking weed or nicotine affect your vision recovery ?

What's the rehab program for neck problems?

My neck problems are just not going away its been 4 months I see massage therapist and chiro

Ehm.. balance, dizziness, car sickness. Aren't those usually put into the vestibular category? I know both systems are interconnected and the therapy could be similar but still..

I keep trying to watch your videos. I get that you may be sitting on a ball but OH MY GOODNESS! it makes it very difficult for those of us with PPCS to watch this without getting a bit dizzy. Stop the motion while doing your recordings!

I'm just wondering why some doctors say PCS should resolve within a couple of months, yet vision issues persist, along with other issues. This seems like an oxymoron.
