Homonymous Hemianopia

Homonymous hemianopia is a visual condition where a person loses half of their vision in both eyes, on the same side. This typically results from damage to the brain's visual pathways, often caused by strokes or brain injuries. For example, if the right side of the brain is affected, the person may lose the left half of their sight in both eyes. This condition affects how they see the world, making it challenging to notice objects or images on one side, and can impact daily activities like reading and navigation.
