The forces that produce head and brain trauma can also produce primary and secondary damage to the eye and vision. A brief overview of potential damage is presented for each structure of the eye to give the primary care practitioner or initial examining physician a familiarity with conditions that must be considered in the evaluation of the head trauma patient. Certain primary care therapies are also noted.
