Reason For Vision Getting Interrupted Suddenly After A Hit In The Head?

Hi :) I fell two weeks ago and hit my head hard, the scrapes and bruises are gone but the right side of my head hurts to touch and occasionally my vision is momentarily interupted(blurred). No offence but I do not like going to Doctors but an thinking this time I should. Maybe sonner! What do you think?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having momentary blurring of vision lasting for few seconds following head injury.
This indicates transient loss of vision or amaurosis fugax. This requires evaluation as concussion type of head injury with raise of intra cranial pressure is one of the cause for this symptom.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
