What is Functional blindness caused by traumatic brain injury?

Functional blindness caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to a condition where a person experiences visual impairment not due to any structural damage to the eyes but rather from neurological damage affecting visual processing areas in the brain. This can result in difficulties with visual perception, such as problems with recognizing objects, processing visual information, or maintaining visual attention. Symptoms may include blurred vision, visual field loss, or the inability to interpret visual stimuli, despite having normal eye function. Treatment often involves rehabilitation strategies to help patients adapt and improve their visual functioning.
