Interventions for visual field defects in patients with stroke

Visual Problems After Stroke: A Survey of Current Practice by Occupational Therapists Working in UK Stroke Inpatient Settings

“…We believe that future work in this area should prioritise establishing the evidence based for the effectiveness of the range of specific treatment and management strategies for visual impairments following stroke. Currently a series of Cochrane systematic reviews are being carried out to address this need (21)(22)(23). Recent data (3) suggest that as many as 68% of patients with visual problems may have eye movement disorders.…”

“…Following initial development of the questionnaire, it was sent out to all members of the Scottish Stroke and Vision Steering Group and to all member of a multidisciplinary group which was formed to advise on a series of ongoing Cochrane systematic reviews relating to visual problems after stroke (21)(22)(23). Membership of these groups included health professionals, researchers, stroke survivors and representatives from Scottish charities relevant to stroke and vision.…”

A randomized controlled trial of Scanning Eye trAining as a Rehabilitation Choice for Hemianopia after stroke (SEARCH)

“…VST, supported by evidence from a Cochrane review 12 and the European Stroke Organization Vision guideline, 26 is considered a promising compensatory intervention for hemianopia. Scanning of the environment relies on fast, saccadic eye movements, which are integral to compensatory visual training programs.…”

Eye disease in older people

“…Cerebrovascular accidents give rise to a variety of clinical manifestations, with field defects estimated to affect 20-57% of people who have had a stroke. 81 Other problems include visual agnosia, visual inattention or cortical blindness, ischaemic sixth and third nerve palsies and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy. These usually have underlying atherosclerotic risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes and smoking.…”
