eye problem since car accident

[anngrenade]

I had a car accident five months ago in which i received several injuries including a concussion which caused my right pupil to become musch smaller than my left, immedietly after the accident I complained of pain and visual disturbance and my eye was watering almost constantly for a few weeks. I saw an ophthalmologist seven weeks after my accident who said that I had scarring on my retina that she believed to be old and not related to the accident she said the pain was probably neurological. I had no problems before the accident and continue to have problem now with pain behind the eye, hazy vision, photophobia and increasing floaters. Please advise me

Thankyou for your respose I will look into that although I was given an MRI scan to rule out brain injury which came back clear but I will check if the orbits were part of that scan.

You should consider seeing an neuroophthalmologist and might need detailed MRI scan of your brain and orbits to rule out a blood vessel abnormality or other condition affecting the nerves to the eye.  Find one at www.aao.org and search by specialty.
