Did you know that about 65% of stroke survivors experience vision problems? These changes can impact daily activities like reading, moving around, or recognizing people and objects.
Problems can include:
- Visual field loss
- Eye movement problems
- Visual processing problems
- Dry eyes or light sensitivity
Ophthalmologists, orthoptists, doctors, and occupational therapists can provide guidance on managing and treating vision changes after a stroke. By learning scanning techniques and participating in therapy, stroke survivors can maximize their existing vision and improve their quality of life.
