Látótérkieséseket

Látótérkieséseket, also known as visual field defects, refer to a condition where a person experiences a loss or distortion of vision in a specific area of their visual field. This can occur due to various causes, including neurological disorders, eye diseases, or injuries. Visual field defects can be classified into two main categories: scotomas and hemianopsia.

Scotomas are localized areas of vision loss that can appear as dark spots, blind spots, or distorted shapes. They can be central, affecting the central vision, or peripheral, affecting the side vision. Scotomas can result from conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or retinal detachment.

Hemianopsia, on the other hand, involves the loss of vision in one half of the visual field. This can occur due to damage to the optic nerve or the visual cortex in the brain. Hemianopsia can be further classified into two types: homonymous hemianopsia, where the loss of vision is in the same half of both eyes, and heteronymous hemianopsia, where the loss of vision is in opposite halves of the two eyes.

Látótérkieséseket can significantly impact a person's quality of life, affecting activities such as reading, driving, and social interactions. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing visual field defects and preventing further vision loss. Treatment options may include medications, surgery, or vision rehabilitation therapies. If you or someone else is experiencing visual field defects, it is important to consult with an eye care professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
