6. I don't know if this will help, but I endured vision problems after a bicycle vs. car meeting.

That happened in 1998 and the double vision, blurred vision and loss of depth perception were getting worse as time went by. My problems were a little different. However, even after 12 years had elapsed, I finally found a Dr. who suggested that we at least try vision therapy.

She warned me (as did the therapist) that after 12 years there was probably not much that could be done. I finished therapy a few weeks ago. The therapy was able to greatly reduce the double vision and blurred vision to the point that it really made a difference in every day life. The depth perception will never come back due to the brain damage, but therapy (even though delayed) is always worth a shot.

It is a good idea to find a good Neuro-Ophthamologist to get their opinion also.

Good luck with your Grandson.
