Concussion testing is the test to evaluate brain function before and after a head trauma, which is performed by a health-care professional. They measure physical skills such as balance, and mental skills such as memory, concentration, how quickly you can think and solve problems, and your ability to pay attention. Sometimes, a baseline test is performed in persons who are at risk of getting a concussion such as athletes.

I had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?

eye opinion is advised.
