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