What Are The Symptoms Of An Ischemic Stroke?

Loss Of Vision

An individual's visual ability is determined by two primary factors, a healthy visual processing center in the brain and a healthy eye for the delivery of said visual information. A stroke that stops blood from flowing to parts of the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, or temporal lobe can cause patients to experience stroke-related loss of vision. Left-sided vision loss in both eyes typically occurs when a patient has an ischemic stroke that mainly affects the visual centers in the right side of their brain and vice versa for right-sided vision loss in both eyes. An ischemic stroke that affects a patient's temporal and or parietal lobe can cause them to have vision trouble with more of a visual-spacious awareness nature, such as the inability to identify objects or failure to recognize faces. Some aspects of vision loss can be rehabilitated and improved over time following a patient's ischemic stroke, and some visual impairment may be permanent.
