    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonymous_hemianopsia

    Hemianopsia, or hemianopia, is a visual field loss on the left or right side of the vertical midline. It can affect one eye but usually affects both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia (or homonymous hemianopia) is hemianopic visual field loss on the same side of both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia occurs because the right half of the brain has visual ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemianopsia

    Hemianopsia, or hemianopia, is a loss of vision or blindness in half the visual field, usually on one side of the vertical midline. The most common causes of this damage are stroke, brain tumor, and trauma. [1]

  4. Macular sparing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_sparing

    Macular sparing can be determined with visual field testing.The macula is defined as an area of approximately + 8 degrees around the center of the visual field. [3] During examination, vision in an area of greater than 3 degrees must be preserved for a patient to be considered to have macular sparing because there is involuntary eye movement within 1 to 2 degrees.

  5. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    Visual field-bitemporal hemianopia Visual field-binasal hemianopia. A lesion involving complete optic chiasm, which disrupts the axons from the nasal field of both eyes, causes loss of vision of the right half of the right visual field and the left half of the left visual field. [3] This visual field defect is called as bitemporal hemianopia.

  6. Binasal hemianopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binasal_hemianopsia

    The visual field of each eye can be divided in two vertically, with the outer half being described as temporal or lateral, and the inner half being described as nasal. "Binasal hemianopsia" can be broken down as follows: bi-: involves both left and right visual fields; nasal: involves the nasal visual field; hemi-: involves one-half of each ...

  7. Cortical blindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_blindness

    Acquired cortical blindness is most often caused by loss of blood flow to the occipital cortex from either unilateral or bilateral posterior cerebral artery blockage (ischemic stroke) and by cardiac surgery. [2] In most cases, the complete loss of vision is not permanent and the patient may recover some of their vision (cortical visual ...

  8. Ocular ischemic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_ischemic_syndrome

    Ocular ischemic syndrome is the constellation of ocular signs and symptoms secondary to severe, chronic arterial hypoperfusion to the eye. [1] Amaurosis fugax is a form of acute vision loss caused by reduced blood flow to the eye; it may be a warning sign of an impending stroke, as both stroke and retinal artery occlusion can be caused by thromboembolism due to atherosclerosis elsewhere in the ...

  9. Visual field test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field_test

    A visual field test is an eye examination that can detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, pituitary disease, brain tumours or other neurological deficits.
