Neck/Spine issues possibly causing headaches/vision problems

Can tight neck muscles or spine/vertebrae issues cause vision problems or floaters? I know these can be assoctiated with headaches but not sure how it may or may not effect vision.

Cervical disease can cause vision problems, eye pain,  tears,  even narrow the field of vision, vision rapidly declining, a small number of patients can cause blindness, known as the neck problem  visually impaired. This problem may be caused by sensitive nervous dysfunction, and vertebral - basilar artery insufficiency, affect brain's visual center due to occipital ischemia.

I just did a lot of reading about Atlas Orthogonal treatment. From what I read, people that have spinal issues, especially around C1, C2, and the Atlas can have headaches, vision problems, and so many other symptoms.

I went to a Chiropractor today for a consultation. Im not sure if he is an Upper Cervical Chiro. or not but he "seemed" to know his stuff. He specializes in neck injuries and has a machine called the Pro Adjuster. Im not too familiar with it but it sounds pretty interesting so far.

I did find one Atlas Orthogonist in my area. Im really considering checking into this more.

Any thoughts on these procedures?
