The goal of this evidence report is to summarize current evidence examining the prevalence and types of visual dysfunction and impairment among patients diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Understanding the scope of visual disorders among these populations will aid the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in determining appropriate screening strategies for visual dysfunction and impairment among returning Veterans diagnosed with TBI. Better understanding of the specific visual dysfunctions that may be associated with TBI will also enable appropriate intervention within the vision care system. A secondary goal is to develop a strategy for the monitoring of outcomes from the assessment and management of TBI-related visual disorders, thus potentially producing improved outcomes in the overall rehabilitation and reintegration of affected Veterans.
