Strokes and Vision
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. Common symptoms of a stroke include:
Face drooping
Arm weakness,
Speech difficulty
Numbness
Trouble walking
Severe headaches.
Strokes usually affect one side of the brain. When the brain is affected this can cause visual field loss, neglect, or loss of motor function on the opposite side of the body.
After a stroke, it is not unusual for patients to have difficulty recognizing numbers, letters, or words and spatial awareness can also be affected, causing a midline shift. Vision, balance, attention, and accuracy can all be impaired after a stroke but it is important to remember that rehabilitation is possible.
