Acquired homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs) result in significant disability, reducing quality of life. Spontaneous recovery occurs within the first months, then the likelihood of vision recovery decreases, making rehabilitation necessary. HVFD

Visual field deficits are common after acquired brain injury (Gilhotra et al., 2002). The majority of patients with unilateral post-chiasmatic brain damage exhibit a homonymous visual field defect, with posterior cerebral artery infarction being the most common cause (Zhang et al., 2006a; Zi...
the ‘scintillating scotoma,’ consisting of an expanding visual disturbance – often an angular pattern of broken lines or shimmering, flashing arc – which leaves a scotoma in its wake as it migrates from the center to the periphery of the visual field, typically over a period of 15–45 ...
visual field defect patterns. They reported that only IVF deterioration in the superior area was associated with driving avoidance at night, in rain, and in fog. This finding is consistent with our study. Since there are many objects in high locations that must be observed while driving, such...
A 64-year-old white woman presents with a 2-week history of a visual field defect. She does not report any associated blurred vision,diplopia, or pain in either eye, other than occasional bilateral conjunctival injection, which she attributed to allergies. ...
Often, visual field loss after stroke or brain injury goes undetected, as historically visual field testing has not been part of the routine evaluations administered after a person experiences a stroke or brain injury. This free vision test is designed to help victims determine if they have ...
An eye visual field test can also detect abnormalities in the brain that cause strokes or tumors. These abnormalities not only affect the visual field, but the location of the stroke or tumor is often determined by the size, shape and location of the eye problem or defect. A visual field...
