Dr. Munson and our team of wellness heroes are tirelessly dedicated to the success of our patients. If you’ve suffered a head or brain injury of any kind, we have the tools, treatments, and expertise to ensure that you get the care you need for your all of your symptoms.

Because the visual system is in so many parts of the brain, it is susceptible to injury, no matter how bad your accident may be. According to The Concussion Project, up to 1/3 of the symptoms you may experience are visual, and over 50% of people who experience a concussion or post-concussion syndrome suffer from visual issues. Seeing Dr. Munson at Fort Collins Family Eye Care can help you regain your visual skills and preserve your long-term vision.

Your central vision is the part of your vision that lets you to see things right in front of you, allowing you to do things like read, draw, write, and drive. Your peripheral vision is responsible for allowing you to determine space and motion—ensuring you know where you are in relation to the world around you. To get the most out of your vision, these two systems must be working in harmony. However, after a concussion or head injury, the balance may be upset, and you may find seemingly simple tasks, like reading or processing busy areas, difficult. At Fort Collins Family Eye Care and Vision Performance Center, we have the latest technologies that will help determine the severity of the imbalance between these two systems, and we will develop a personalized treatment plan that is designed to give you back your vision and your life.
