After a stroke, some people lose part of their visual field or see double or blurred: the eyes are healthy, but the brain processes the image differently. Counselling centres for people with sight loss show how to manage everyday life: reading with a magnifier or screen, getting around safely, trying out aids. Counselling is usually free.
First ask your eye doctor or neurologist for a visual field test; the result helps the counselling centre. Hospital orthoptic departments offer targeted training for visual field loss. If you drove before the stroke, have your fitness to drive assessed before getting back behind the wheel.
