Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cortical blindness is an important cause of blindness due to damage to the occipital cortex. It is commonly associated with posterior circulation stroke. Hence recognizing it can lead to proper management and improved outcome.
Detailed explanation-3: -Damage to the occipital lobe can cause blindness and other visual distortions, including hallucinations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because the occipital lobe deals with vision, one possible result of damage in this area is full or partial blindness. Loss of sight is not always straightforward, however, and the person may instead lose one or more specific functions of their vision.
