visual pathway analysis

Visual pathway analysis involves examining how visual information travels from the eyes to the brain. It assesses each stage, from the optic nerves through the optic chiasm and tracts, to the visual cortex in the brain, to identify any disruptions or damage. This process helps diagnose conditions like glaucoma, strokes, or tumors affecting vision. Techniques such as visual field tests, imaging, and electrophysiological measures are used to pinpoint where issues occur, guiding treatment decisions and understanding the underlying cause of visual impairments.
