Convergence Insufficiency: Vision Difficulties May Indicate Long-Term Post-Concussion Consequences
Follow news on brain injury studies, reports, and research at brainlaw.com/brain-injuries/studies/
Screening of patients in hospital emergency departments for concussions and other types of traumatic brain injury is challenging due to the many ways symptoms may manifest.
Repeated studies have shown that emergency departments often fail to properly diagnose concussions leading to the inability of individuals to receive timely or proper treatment.
And even when a concussion is diagnosed, there is often a failure to assess the patient for a risk of future consequences previously called the post-concussion syndrome and now known as persistent post concussive symptoms.
A new study emphasizes the need to screen patients for ocular difficulties in the emergency department as an accurate tool to assess the risk of developing long term post-concussion consequences.
The study examines screening for convergence insufficiency symptoms.
Convergence insufficiency affects the ability of both eyes to work together to form a single image resulting from damage to the nerves controlling eye muscles.
Common symptoms include visual fatigue, double vision, headaches, or trouble concentrating.

I called 988 since im trying to get her truth out for you
I recently hit the back of my head while swimming. I didn’t see it as a big deal until 8 days later when I decided to look myself in the mirror and saw one of my eye got misaligned. I am going to the hospital today. Hope it is not something dangerous 😭
These pregnant pauses in his verbal presentation is annoyingly ridiculous. The mind does not process such broken speech. Add his poor diction and gravely voice, and this is almost useless. If this is the quality that comes out of De Caro and Kaplen attorneys, I'd never hire them. No jury could follow this style of speech. He is not a Brain Injury Insider. If he was, he would know that his presentation style is not effective.
My Dad had a TBI when he was 15, he was hit with a hurl playing hurling, basically a very hard wooden stick. It fractured his skull and he stayed in hospital for months. He was very intelligent and still is but has had a very tragic life, his marriage failed, he suffered with depression and anxiety his entire life. He’s 72 now. He was unemployed for most of his life, very disorganized and made bad decision after bad decision. He was always looked at as being lazy and a bit of a bum but I really think all his issues come from that injury when he 15.
Last year I fell on the back of the head and now it hurts and makes me feel dizzy tired and I don't have balance.
I have a TBI from a car accident in 2021 that changed my life forever. I haven’t worked since and I had to learn to walk talk speech therapy. It’s hard to live with a TBI but be patient with yourself and know that Love you brain organization is amazing and The Traumatic Brain Injury fund helps with what your insurance won’t. The biaa is helpful and the virtual support groups are Amazing.
I know it may be too late but I got legionnaires in 2020 found out I lost my hearing from the hospitalization and antibiotics in 2023 and was given no follow up care from 2020 to 2022 due to being in Washington state do you have a email I also have tbi from sepsis and encephalitis as complications of legionnaires during hospitalization and I’m finding out still all these things that are going on if you think I have a case plz drop a email on this comment
How can that be treated
This is very interesting to me, and sadly my father had an aneurysm back in 2005 which was 19 years ago, and sadly one of the issues he has is with memory, remembering what happened to him (when he had a car accident that nearly killed him) and also with his age. if someone could tell me what he possibly has then that would be great. he turns 67 today and every time we tell the truth my mom and i , he says he is not 60 something. it is so sad and even when he turns 70 or 80 he might say the same thing but i will move on and out by then. if my dad did not go to work then he would be the same, he was a smoker and always would drive recklessly . when my mother divorces my dad he will be in a senior home, another thing when he gets angry is aggression that is a dementia warning sign.
It's absolutely horrifying to learn US Navy personnel have to live with repeated traumatic brain injuries-caused by conditions of the job, i.e. riding on high speed boats-and that the Navy and Department of Defense refuse to acknowledge and resolve the conditions that cause CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy). CTE is the same destructive and life-changing brain disorder that affects thousands of men, young men, and boys who play American football. Thank you, De Caro & Kaplen, for your groundbreaking knowledge-sharing and efforts to keep the public informed.

I hit my head in accident..... I hit my head pass out for a couple sec when I wake up I can't hear on my right ear about 7 year's now .Now I'm getting some severe headache on the right side of my head .......any opinion? Plz

The Government wants to remove guns due to deaths but they completely ignore the deaths caused by vehicle homicide and the fact they nearly always go unpunished or inadequatly punished! BAN CARS NOW, THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION!

Help, Tbi survivor here!!
Thank you so much. For your clearance on this matter. My brother got hit on the head by a door while bending in February of this year. He is not the some person we know. But his neurologist says he can't find anything. Its crazy b'se he has been a very active person. But he forgets,he will ask you the same question like five times and he gets so pissed when we tell him that he has already asked the same thing. Even his speech is off. His primary Dr who has known him for years was even shocked. But his workman's comp neurology says that has got nothing to do with his injury.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am crying as I deal with this in someone I love deeply. ❤❤😢😢
Cannot save this although I would like to come back to it.
Yes no one asks or sees your pain as the survivor. They only see the one who was injured.
Thank you for sharing this
❤❤❤ Thank you. I just had to release my injury attorney because they did not help me in the least with my brain injury. Like you my new attorneys are on top of brain injuries and have already suggested that I seek ot speech and occupational therapy. I have learned it is so important that your attorney understands your pain. ❤❤❤

Who do I sue? for my brain tumor, I never subscribed to that service, it was just given to me illegally?

You inspired me those are happy tears Ty
😢Thank God you are still here , 😢😢😢😢😢
Good luck trying to obtaining these types of services in a settlement from Michigan Workers Comp system, it’s such a corrupt system in Michigan. My WC accident occurred Sept 2016, it’s still in ligation from my compressed skull fracture, from slip and fall, the upper left side skull hitting the edge of the stair. The WC insurance co and WC doctors lie, omit additional injury information like my neck/back and minimized my TBI injury to just a laceration. I still have a permanent 3 in dent on my skull from the point of impact and permanently effected my vision/eyes. I would love it if you were in Michigan to be my lawyer, your in NY. Do you know any good TBI lawyers in Michigan to refer me to? Thank you kindly for all your videos, I appreciate them very much 🧠🤕
I read we are economic burden. No one really understands living life is a constant burden for us. No on is capable of understanding our lives have been destroyed. Sometimes death is better than suffering with the true burden aka being alive.
Has anyone else experienced intense negative emotional reactions, almost like a shockwave, when trying to respond to personal topics due to cavernomas in the right frontal lobe or right supramarginal gyrus? Or due to a brain injury in those areas. How do you cope with these reactions, and have you found any effective strategies to manage them?
Living your life as a caregiver and protector is not easy. Thank you for this video. It's exactly how I have lived for 28 years.
My husband survived a tbi 28 years ago. The journey for our family has been very tough. Life is very different for all, most of all him. He continues to display amber and frustration as we get older. I'm afraid he is falling into dementia. We have been married for 46 years, and I frequently don't know how to help him. This video comes as close as I have ever seen to explaining how he must feel.😢
So please can you help me about my son's treatment
116 days ago he was Hunt of Hyposic brain injury
Hello sir my son Muhammad Azaan he is now Hyposic brain injury he is 27 months old
Do you only take cases in NY?
Thank you precious and beautiful HaShem my god of Israel please remember me forever and release me from this pain for your glory and rise up and overthrow my enemies and show them your loving kindness and light amen❤❤❤❤❤
Yes ! This is it… Thank u for putting it into words a story 🙏
I survived a brain aneurysm in 2015. Medically Declared Disabled in 2017. Cannot collect Benefits. Insufficient Soc Sec work credits. Working part time.
I didn’t have enough time working on the books to qualify but I did qualify for SSI so I suggest you apply at Social Security. It’s only $943 a month but it’s better than nothing. I live in Florida. I got my two traumatic brain injuries from domestic violence. I also have post traumatic brain injury syndrome and ptsd. I have Aphasia and Pseudobulbar Affect. My case was expedited because I had more than one diagnosis that qualified me which was a surprise. We do Not get better ! But SS people can be mean and they randomly require you to prove again you’re disabled and go through your bank accounts atleast every 6 months which is stressful but I need money I am far below poverty level on just $943 a month so apply for SSI
I didn’t expect this to hit so hard. Thank you.
Problem; I cannot follow er speech, I'm deaf, due to a head injury, so needed to hear what she was saying, I can't hear her and the subtitles are not making it any easier!.
Thank You So Much! 🌸 In recent years, I have developed ADHD-like symptoms that I have never had in my entire lifetime... I had 5+ in my early-mid twenties (once was post-concussion syndrome bc I i got 2 concussions within a 2-3 week period) and have never been the same since. I have been struggling more in the last 3 or so years and I recently realized/discovered that my multiple had injuries from abusive relationships could be the reason why I'm struggling so much, despite have 5+ years of therapy bc my concussions were never treated and no doctor has ever really looked into my issues or connected the dots. Thanks again ❤
I look forward to a stronger united association that reaches out to everyone--those in rural and urban places and those with more or less income...
Thank you for publishing this insightful video. I hope to see more more views, likes and comments. I truly appreciate De Caro & Kaplen's empathetic POV and help/hope for TBI survivors.
