I suffered a small stoke in April 2019. This has left me with a blind spot in my vision. I have read that it is possible to retrain parts of your brain to overcome partial sight loss. In the Guardian newspaper there was an article about using a computor programme to achieve this. Does anyone know anything about this please. I must admit I do feel somewhat of a fraud having read other peoples devistating stories after suffering a stroke. But it's worth a try. Thanks.
If you find out about this computer program I would be really interested to know what it is as after my subarachnoid hemorrhage I have a blind spot in the bottom right hand quadrant of my right eye.
Hi, regarding your post concerning your vision loss, my stroke was 2 years ago and I lost peripheral vision in my left eye. I have been using 2 free online therapy programmes developed by UCL and funded by the Stroke Association:
Read-Right
Eye Search
I have found both of these therapy programmes easy to follow and hope that the therapy will be beneficial.
I have also been referred to Proffesor Leff at the National Hospital, Queens Square, London, to have a Visual Field Assessment in September.
Hope this is helpful
Thanks very much susan.
I will look into these.

Katy,
Susan gave me a couple of things to look at in her reply to me. Maybe you could look in to them as well.
Good Luck
Gary
