What Causes A White Light In Peripheral Vision Post A Head Injury?
My wife hit her head yesterday. (A heavy shelf fell a about a foot and hit her on the left front top of her head.) She has no bump or cut but it was a little sore. She also had no other after effects. However, tonight she is occasionally seeing a small white light in her peripheral vision in her left eye. Still no other symptoms. Should we be concerned?

Hi,
The moving white light in her peripheral vision seems to be a floater arising from a small degenerative body in aquas humer. This condition might have effected after the accident. Such floaters are usually not harmful still looking at the injury she had I would suggest a consultation after examination by an ophthalmologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
