A qualitative exploration of the effect of visual field loss on daily life in home-dwelling stroke survivors.

CONCLUSIONS:: Visual field loss has a marked impact on stroke survivors. Stroke survivors lack perception of their visual loss in everyday life, resulting in fear and loss of confidence. Activity avoidance is a common response, but in some, it is replaced by self-initiated adaptive techniques. PMID: 30935223 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
