Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about the severe head injury you have had and hope you are recovering fast. The headache can be due to the injury, but your blurred vision requires an immediate consultation with the ophthalmologist. The eyes are vital organs and have many connections in the brain. Eyes are made up of sensitive layers of tissues which help in image formation. An injury to the layers in the eye can cause blurred vision. It can also be caused by injury to nerves and muscles related to the eyes. I suggest you please take an opinion from an ophthalmologist immediately, if not taken earlier. Please explain your symptoms in detail and get your eyes examined and visual filed tests done.
