What is the Impact of Brain Stroke Eyesight?

• When blood flow to the brain is disrupted, it results in stroke, leading to brain cell death. Brain Stroke can drastically impact the vision in many cases depending on the area of the brain affected
• Visual Field Loss: Strokes can result in loss of vision in one or both eyes, known as hemianopia. This condition occurs when the stroke affects the visual pathways in the brain.
• Double Vision: Some individuals may experience double vision (diplopia) following a stroke due to muscle control issues around the eyes.
• Difficulty with Visual Processing: Strokes can minimalize the brain's ability to comprehend visual information, leading to difficulty in recognizing faces or objects.
• Rehabilitation and therapy can help individuals regain some visual function after a stroke, but the extent of recovery depends on various factors of age, impact of brain stroke and other health factors.
