In some cases, hemianopia never resolves. However, there are several things you can do to help improve your vision, including: wearing prismatic correction glasses to help with double vision. getting vision compensatory training to help you use your remaining vision more efficiently.

What type of stroke causes homonymous hemianopia?

3 Homonymous hemianopia is a loss of the right or left halves of the visual field of both eyes (Figure 1a, 1b) and usually occurs as a result of a middle cerebral or posterior cerebral artery stroke affecting either the optic radiation or visual cortex of the occipital lobe (Figure 2).

How is visual field loss treated?

Optical aids such as prism glasses can be used to reduce the apparent visual field loss by shifting visual stimuli from the blind field into the patient's seeing field. These prisms are fitted to spectacles but need to be restricted to just one half of each of the lenses (typically on the side of the blind field).
