I know this is probably a silly question but i saw somewhere that a concussion could cause delayed visual processing and i was wondering if i could tell if my concussion caused that. i didnt experience any visual problems from my concussion though?

Your comments are ambiguous, but will deal with this as follows: A concussion is an acute event, and post-concussional symptomatology lasts about 4-6 weeks. More persistence implicates structural brain injury. Visual problems should be addressed by an ophthalmologist, as this could be an associated additional post-traumatic complication.
