I was in a four wheeling accident a week and a half ago, and hit the left side of my head giving myself a concusion. Since then, in the corner of my left I am noticing white spotting in my view. (It reminds me of having a piece of glitter near my eye). It's not a constant spotting, it's on and off, I notice it more in the light.

Optional Information: Female , Age: 20

Already Tried: I saw a doctor regarding the concusion, but he didn't say anything about symptoms affecting my eye.

If this is something new after your accident, you need to get further testing. Since this is related to your eye, your best bet is to start with an eye doctor at this point. They may be able to tell what is going on, since they have the equipment for visualization to the eye.

Here is an excellent site that explains what to watch for immediately and what to watch for on a delay reaction along with at what point to seek medical attention when a concussion has occurred.
