A member asked:
Is there a way to improve my loss of peripheral vision after a cranium surgery?

Usually not: Visual field loss due to brain trauma is usually stable. Sometimes, with healing after surgery, some vision returns. If the visual loss is severe then counseling with a low vision specialist can help tremendously with adapative visual strategies. Best to see your ophthalmologist.

Maybe: Depends on how much peripheral loss. Sometimes prisms can expand range of field. Some people may benefit from vision therapy. Check with low vision / binocular vision experts.

Time: There is no specific treatment. Loss of peripheral vision with intracranial surgery may be perminent or may get better. Improvement can occur up to six months after surgery with most improvement occurring early on.
