How strokes impact vision loss and what you can do to help

This could occur anywhere along the course of the optic nerve, from the eyes themselves, to the primary visual cortex at the back of the brain in the occipital lobe.

He was able to stand up briefly, with a lot of support from two people holding him up, which was really hard for him and not something he enjoyed or wanted to do. He was also suffering with a lot of back pain and felt very scared of falling.
