🧠Stroke & Vision Loss
Reclaim Independence Through Personalised Adjustment Training
Understanding Vision Changes After Stroke
A stroke can impact the brain’s ability to process visual information, leading to:
· Visual field loss (e.g., hemianopia)
· Blurred or double vision
· Difficulty with reading or recognising faces
· Challenges in spatial awareness and balance
These changes can affect daily activities, but with the right support, individuals can adapt and regain confidence.
