What Causes Decreased Peripheral Vision In A Heart Patient?
Hello, my dad was recently discharged from hospital after a stroke. It s been one week. Today he says he has decreased field of vision in his right eye, like can t see the peripheral vision on that side. He has been confused, which is why we took him to the hospital to begin with. He thinks his vision changes might be related to constipation. He is a retired radiologist, so he should know what he s talking about, but it could be the confusion. I m more concerned that his stroke is progressing. What do you think?
