Well, yes, head trauma can lead to eye problems. And generally speaking, eye and vision problems are fairly common after a brain injury. According to some doctors, even mild head injuries, such as whiplash from a minor auto accident, can cause vision problems. For example, you may have trouble focusing your eyes when switching your gaze between near and far objects. Also, double vision can occur too. By the way, after relatively minor trauma, people can also experience headaches or sensitivity to light, and words on a page may appear to move. Besides, retinal detachment may occur too. So if you have suffered a head injury, it's important to see a doctor who can make sure that your eyes and brain are still working properly, or there will be no vision problems that could show up later.
