Cerebral stroke often causes visual problems, yet rehabilitation is uncommon. This study found that visual field defects can be detected in medical departments, highlighting the need for visual training after stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Cerebral stroke affects 13,000 individuals annually in Norway.
  • Visual impairments are common sequelae of cerebral stroke.
  • Visual rehabilitation is infrequently provided to stroke survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of visual field defects detected in cerebral stroke patients during their hospital stay.
  • To assess the feasibility of identifying visual field defects in a general medical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty consecutive cerebral stroke patients were examined using Donders' method in a medical department.
  • Visual acuity, eye motility, and fundus were assessed by eye clinic personnel in 18 cooperating patients.

Main Results:

  • Visual acuity was generally within normal limits (minimum 0.4).
  • Two patients exhibited homonymous visual field defects, both identified within the medical department.
  • Eye motility disturbances were observed in 10 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Visual problems are prevalent in cerebral stroke patients.
  • Homonymous visual field defects are detectable in medical departments, warranting consideration for visual training.
  • The etiology of observed eye motility disturbances remains unclear.
