Visual loss (worse than 20/60 in both eyes) is a common cause of hallucinations, too. However, research suggests that they are more likely to appear if you have visual acuity between 20/120 and 20 ...
Background Patients with non-organic visual loss (NOVL) can take up a disproportionate amount of clinic time and clinicians often resort to expensive and prolonged investigations to ensure the ...
The search for the lesion(s) was targeted to the visual pathways posterior to the LGN, because there was bilateral visual loss with normal pupillary light reflexes. This finding places the ...
We now evaluate whether SMVL is more accurate than moderate visual loss (MVL: a single occurrence of a decrease from baseline of ⩾15 ETDRS letters) for predicting future visual loss.
