Content: Other vision-related problems that can occur include poor visual memory, visual-spatial inattention, or decreased depth perception. Depending on the type of visual impairment you experience, treatment for vision deficits caused by stroke include prism eyeglasses, an eye patch, or vision therapy. Therapeutic eye exercises is another option eye care specialists use to improve eye focus, strengthen your eye muscles, and stimulate the area of the brain that processes vision. Retinopathy
Hypertensive retinopathy is a condition characterized by a lack of blood flow to the retina at the back of the eye. The condition can block and damage blood vessels in the retina, causing symptoms such as blurred vision or blindness. A sudden increase in blood pressure can also cause the optic nerve to swell. Along with vision changes, which may include dimmed or double vision, swelling of the optic nerve can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Although lowering your blood pressure with medications, such beta blockers, diuretics, or ACE inhibitors, helps treat hypertensive retinopathy, irreversible eye damage that can lead to permanent vision impairment may occur. Optic Neuropathy
Nerve damage to the eye can occur when reduced or blocked blood flow damages the optic nerve. Although the condition may cause only temporary vision loss, permanent damage, which can lead to blindness, may occur when the optic nerve doesn't get enough oxygen and treatment is delayed.
