This webpage provides information for stroke survivors who have vision problems. Vision problems resulting from a stroke may not respond to common solutions.

Common vision problems, which are often faced by stroke survivors, are described. Two issues addressed, which may be of particular interest to readers, revolve around reading and driving. If you or a loved one is having problems with reading and/or is struggling with becoming a driver again be sure to check out these sections.

Areas covered include aphasia, visional field problems and low vision. Included is a lengthy list of vision related side effects from stroke. There are items on this list which are not often discussed by many doctors. A Hemianoptic Symptoms Checklist (Visual Fields) is included. One may find this helpful in determining complex vision problems. Several pages are offered which more fully describes this affliction. Also included is a section on managing double vision.

Both stroke survivors and their families who are struggling with vision issues will find answers to questions at this site. They may also find data which is helpful to have when visiting their eye doctor.
