Relevance – TBI and PTSD can be comorbid with overlapping symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment difficult. – TBI is associated with changes in vision function, but vision problems secondary to PTSD have not been documented.

High rates of binocular vision and oculomotor function deficits in patients with TBI. No significant differences between patients with or without PTSD. – However, patients with PTSD had more self-reported visual symptoms and significantly higher complaint rates for light sensitivity and reading problems.
