Your eyes will not get further apart because of a concussion.  However you might have intermittent exotrophia in which an eye drifts outward (wall-eyes) and that might have developed after a concussion.

you need to see an eye MD ophthalmologist ideally one that specializes in eye muscle problems (strabismus)  If you live in USA find one near you at www.geteyesmart.org or ask your family MD to refer you

Get your parents on board with this
