The hyperflexion injury which can lead to a whiplash claim is well known for its painful effect on the neck, frequently causing victims to suffer from stiffness, swelling and tenderness, but these are not the only symptoms which are reported following whiplash.

Many people, who have suffered from whiplash due to a car accident or another activity, complain about experiencing blurred vision after the incident. However, there is some doubt as to whether this symptom has a definite connection to whiplash injuries.
The blurring can be found in either one eye or both and it has been described with varying levels of severity - from a slight loss of focus to complete blurring. Sometimes it can just be a delay in the process of focusing when a sufferer moves his or her attention from one object to the next.
Alternatively, people may find that they struggle to follow a moving object, or may bring their eyes together involuntarily when objects are placed near the face.
There are a number of scientists who have expressed doubts regarding the link between whiplash and blurred vision, and they have argued that condition is more likely to be related to any medication which has been taken to ease the pain of a whiplash injury.
Scientists have also argued that blurred vision could a side-effect of the pain of the injury itself, or even that the condition may have existed prior to the accident, but it was only brought to the attention of the sufferer afterwards.
Researchers have claimed that the connection between blurred vision and whiplash injuries cannot be confirmed as the only evidence gathered so far is anecdotal rather than measurable, while others have implied that any blurred vision could be psychosomatic.
This is, perhaps, not surprising, when similar conditions such as retinal myopathy – damage to the nerves at the back of the eye that allow sight - are also subject to dispute as a whiplash-related disorder. Read more about retinal myopathy and whiplash.
Nonetheless, it is not uncommon for whiplash injury sufferers to experience problems with their eyesight, and if a person is concerned that their vision has been affected, they should arrange an appointment with a GP to discuss any concerns they may have.
