A member asked:
I have homonymous hemianopia - can vision get restored?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: This condition is usually due to a stroke or vascular event in the occipital cortex which is the visual information processing part of the brain. We allow about 6 months for whatever recovery is likely and after that the changes are permanent. Check this out with a neuro-ophthalmologist.
