Vision Damage after Stroke
March 20, 2009 · Filed Under FAQs
A stroke affecting the right side of the brain can cause problems in vision. Some may state that they are have double vision, blurred vision or partial vision loss. The eye is still receiving the light and converting the light into electrical impulses to be sent through the optic nerve. During an eye exam the optometrist will shine light in to the eye to check whether any part of the back of the eye is damaged.
The final process for the brain is to convert the electrical impulses, the pathways are affected causing images to be either distorted or altogether lost, this is called “Visual Neglect”. This can cause problems in depth perception and movement. Book an eye test now to catch any problems early.
