Hi there, The brain is kind of like rubber, supported by fluid which suspends it within the skull. In coup-contra-coup injuries the brain moves forwards and backwards within the skull. It’s important to note that the inside of the skull contains bony ridges, and if the brain collides with these sharp ridges, the impact can damage the threadlike nerve connections called axons, which carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body. If this had occurred, you would have probably noticed vision problems straight away. The occipital lobe, at the rear of the brain is responsible for vision. It's likely that this was injured during your accident and that you're only just noticing vision problems now.
