Initially, oh, within a couple of weeks I just stopped walking into a really nasty parking sign about this level, well like where you're standing, about that level. How does your vision affect you when you're, say, out and about? This could cause problems with things like bumping into door frames, knocking things over or not seeing the first or last part of a sentence when reading. Most people we spoke to had experienced this as a partial loss of their peripheral vision. Visual loss on the right is due to damage to the pathways carrying information from both eyes to the left side of the brain and visual loss on the left is due to damage to the pathways carrying information from both eyes to the right hand of the brain. People sometimes said that they had lost vision in one of their eyes after their stroke, however it is more likely that the stroke has affected the visual pathways which travel from one side of both eyes to the brain, rather than damage in the one eye itself. This is when people can only see the right half or the left half of what they are looking at out of each eye. There are many types of visual field loss after a stroke, but the most common one is called hormonymous hemianopia. The ability to read close up or to see distances were sometimes changed although this was usually temporary. Some people found that the visual disturbance recovered a few days after the stroke, however, others found that it persisted for longer with variable severity. When this was first experienced, people sometimes put it down to a migraine (see ' The event: A stroke or TIA'). One of the first signs of a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) or stroke can be visual disturbance - loss of vision in one area of the visual field which can be experienced as not being able to see on one side.
