[Purpose] Homonymous hemianopia is one of the most common symptoms following neurologic damage leading to impairments of functional abilities and activities of daily living.

Brain damage disrupts these complicated processes, resulting in severe visual impairments including hemianopia. Patients with hemianopia co...
متن کاملField Expansion for Homonymous Hemianopia
Visual field loss following a cortical lesion from stroke, brain surgery, or head trauma frequently manifests as homonymous hemianopia. Hemianopic field loss causes problems in mobility and navigation as well as reading. Patients frequently complain of bumping into obstacles on the side of the field loss and getting bruised on their arms and legs. The number of such accidents decreases with ada...
متن کاملHomonymous hemianopia: challenges and solutions
Stroke is the most common cause of homonymous hemianopia (HH) in adults, followed by trauma and tumors. Associated signs and symptoms, as well as visual field characteristics such as location and congruity, can help determine the location of the causative brain lesion. HH can have a significant effect on quality of life, including problems with driving, reading, or navigation. This can result i...
