Profile of Gaze Dysfunction following Cerebrovascular Accident.

Aim. To evaluate the profile of ocular gaze abnormalities occurring following stroke. Methods.

A prospective profile of visual field loss following stroke: prevalence, type, rehabilitation, and outcome.

Aims: To profile site of stroke/cerebrovascular accident, type and extent of field loss, treatment options, and outcome.

Methods: Prospective multicentre cohort trial. Standardised referral and investigation protocol of visual parameters.

Reading difficulty after stroke: ocular and non ocular causes.

Background: Ocular causes of reading impairment following stroke include visual field loss, eye movement impairment and poor central vision. Non ocular causes may include cognitive errors or language impairment.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify all patients referred with suspected visual impairment who had reported reading difficulty to establish the prevalence of ocular and non ocular causes.

Visual impairment following stroke: do stroke patients require vision assessment?

Background: the types of visual impairment followings stroke are wide ranging and encompass low vision, eye movement and visual field abnormalities, and visual perceptual difficulties.

Objective: the purpose of this paper is to present a 1-year data set and identify the types of visual impairment occurring following stroke and their prevalence.

Methods: a multi-centre prospective observation study was undertaken in 14 acute trust hospitals.
