Hemianopia

Tips from survivors: “I remind myself to look to my weak side—it helps me catch what I’m missing.”

Loss of vision on one side of the visual field in one or both eyes.

Missing objects or people on one side, bumping into things, difficulty reading, or only seeing half of what’s in front of you.

Stroke damages the brain’s visual processing pathways, often in the occipital lobe or connecting regions.

Relatively common among stroke survivors with visual pathway involvement.

Vision therapy, scanning techniques, occupational therapy, and using visual cues or reminders.
