Another Eye Problem for Stroke Victims Isolated

A new study shows that stroke victims not only lose visual field but eye movement, making simple tasks such as reading difficult. The post on EurekaAlert notes that “research has often focused on visual field loss, caused by an interruption in the pathways that deliver an image from the eye to the brain for processing. Study led by scientists at Liverpool, however, has shown that damage to the nerve supply that controls eye movement is also a common problem after a stroke. Impaired eye movement can impact on the ability to follow a moving object or read words on a page.”
