Can Whiplash Injury Affect Your Eyesight?
Hi, I was in a car accident recently and since then have developed eye flashes. I've seen an ophthalmologist and there's no sign of a retinal tear, but I'm wondering if it could have happened as a result of the accident. I was hit on the left side and injured my left shoulder and hand, and the effected eye is my left one.
