Occipital Lobe Epilepsy

Occipital Lobe Epilepsy is a type of epilepsy that originates in the occipital lobe, the part of the brain responsible for vision. People with this condition may experience seizures characterized by visual disturbances, such as flashing lights, blurred vision, or even temporary vision loss. These seizures can occur during sleep or while awake. While they can be unsettling, many individuals respond well to treatment, which may include medication or other therapies, to help manage and reduce the frequency of seizures. Understanding and awareness are key in managing the condition effectively.
