In the fifth podcast in our stroke and vision series, Sandra shares her story about how her vision was impacted by her stroke. She talks about how she adapted to changes in her visual field -  homonymous hemianopia,  loss of one half of her visual field in the same side in each eye - due to the area of her brain that had been affected by stroke.
