One-third of the brain is dedicated to vision. As a result, visual issues can be one of the first signs of a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients. Symptoms can include double vision, visual field loss and visual percep...
Stroke or more significant brain injury can also affect peripheral (side) vision and visual processing ability. Fortunately, many visual problems after concussion will resolve within 3-4 weeks or less. Vision therapy, also referred to as neuro-optometric rehabilitation, can be very effective in case...
visual cortex, it will cause a lower quadrant contralateral field loss (Figure 10-10). In the first several months following a stroke, vision may improve. After this point, vision can be considered stable10and will not deteriorate any further due to the stroke. Field losses from stroke ...
Additionally, the patient’s visual disturbances did not improve after intravenous thrombolysis, and the brain MRI, 3 hours after thrombolysis, showed no evident abnormality to rule out acute ischemic stroke caused cortical blindness. However, arteriovenous malformations and venous sinus thrombosis cannot ...

Stroke A stroke can impact the visual pathways, leading to impaired vision or what can seem like cloudy spots on the eyes. The interruption of blood supply to the brain can affect the areas responsible for processing visual information, causing visual disturbances. Recognizing signs of stroke-relat...
