Stroke-Related Eye Conditions

Vision issues are frequently experienced after a stroke. Our eyes relay visual information along a network of brain regions essential for sight, referred to as the visual pathway.

When a stroke impacts specific areas within this pathway or brain regions responsible for processing and interpreting visual data, it can disrupt vision. Common types of visual complications post-stroke include loss of visual fields, difficulties with eye movement, and challenges with visual processing.
