Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I am 18 years old, female, and got poked in my eye while playing basketball a month ago. My eye swelled at the time, but it has been properly treated. Now I am recovering well, but I feel like my vision has decreased. Does eye trauma affect vision?Doctor's answer:
After the recurrence of eye trauma, it may lead to the recurrence of vision impairment. However, this primarily depends on the severity of the eye injury and requires speculation based on that. If, after the eye injury, there were no obvious vision abnormalities at the time of the injury, then a vision improvement after one month following the injury is less likely to be related to the injury. It could be caused by conditions such as myopia.
