Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
concusion is brain shaking. must have excluded from brain injury. it can be clinically assessed. brain injury symptoms are nausea vomiting and pinpoint pupil. so for confirmation you have to consult neurologist and take his opinion. you will recover within one or two weeks but monitoring and watch has to be made
