MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When a stroke affects the occipital lobe only on one side, it can cause blindness on the opposite side of the visual field. For example, a stroke in the left occipital lobe can result in blindness on the right side of the visual field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vision loss Damage to your occipital lobe can cause you to lose part or all of your field of vision. It can affect one eye at a time or both eyes. When loss is total and affects both eyes, it’s known as cortical (cortex-related) blindness.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the occipital lobes of the brain are completely affected by a stroke, it causes total vision loss. This is called “cortical blindness.”5 It means the vision loss was caused by damage to the cortex of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The occipital lobe is the visual processing area of the brain. It is associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Injury to the occipital lobes may lead to vision impairments such as blindness or blind spots; visual distortions and visual inattention. The occipital lobes are also associated with various behaviors and functions that include: visual recognition; visual attention; and spatial analysis.
