Loss of sight after an accident is a life‑changing consequence of serious injury. It may be partial or complete, temporary or permanent, and can arise from direct trauma to the eye, damage to the optic nerve, fractures affecting the optic canal, raised intracranial pressure, swelling, hypoxia or injury to the visual centres of the brain. People may experience blurred or patchy vision, reduced visual fields, double vision, difficulty judging distance, sensitivity to light, dizziness, headaches, balance problems and visual fatigue. Early ophthalmology and neurological assessment is essential, as sight can fluctuate in the first days and weeks. Rehabilitation focuses on safety, confidence and independence. Occupational therapists support lighting, contrast, scanning strategies, environmental modifications and daily living skills, while physiotherapists address balance, posture and mobility. Assistive technology such as screen readers, magnifiers, voice‑controlled devices and contrast‑enhancing software can significantly improve independence. Psychological rehabilitation is equally important, as sight loss affects identity, mood, relationships and long‑term adjustment.
