I know that when a left frontal lobe is damaged sometimes people are left unable to read and write, but has anyone’s vision changed for better or worse? Also, do you see squiggly lines and extra “stuff” that makes the letters/numbers seem somewhat foreign?

I so appreciate this response. I looked over the post and I believe my mother, the aneurysm survivor, has some vision issues, but I don’t know how to address them since mom is not capable cognitively speaking to take a vision exam. Her injuries are very severe and even had part of her left frontal lobe taken out and a blood clot is dissolving in her right frontal lobe. She shows signs like closing one eye at a time and squinting as well as rubbing her eyes and area of her eyebrows. This poor thing! : [
i had an aneurysm found after after many test and a mini stoke. that really was my warring shot. i had many weird had affects after my clipping in 08 i lost all sense of smell and taste, i had an ear on the same side that perforated, (they felt it could have been from another mini stoke) i had weird what i called brain crackle, which was just the healing , but it was so strange, migraines,I hated the taste of food, it was so hard, and of course memory loss, and double vision and blurry as well. My eye sight was the last to come back as well. We Neurosurgeon has me see a specialist that was for me a waste of time. I was at the hospital after having yet another what we thought was a mini stoke and in walked my Neurosurgeon and for the first time i could see him. So I finally told him i can see you and we both were so happy, it was so hard not seeing correctly. What we thought was a mii stroke was a vessel that spasms and i get that often and when ever my brain feels like it.
hang in there and many blessings
With my rupture I had a massive amount of blood in the optic nerves. Enough to do quite a bit of damage. It has been 4 years an I have had alot of improvement but some things will most likely never change. I don’t “see clearly” anymore, don’t see straight lines or details on alot of things, colors have changed some. The worst part is not see peoples faces and eyes clearly when i’m talking to them. I can legally drive, have regular check ups at the eye specialist. I contacted the state division of blind services and was able to get a magnifying machine that enlarges paperwork so I was able to keep my job and do a good job! I don’t read books too much even though I used to love it, seems to give me a headache from the eye strain. I also have become a collector in magnifying glasses! Thank goodness I was an adult when this happened and I could read, etc. I find that alot of things needed can be done by recognization. I know when reading something what the words should be with out actually seeing them real clear. Most of all I REFUSE to give in, quit, etc. Keep a positive attitude! Take care, Barbara Also, those floaters I get in my vision that I kept swating at thinking they were flys…now have names! Smile!
How courageous of you to survive all that you have! I just don’t know what to do because the person who I believe is suffering from the vision issues, my mom, is not able to speak or comprehend what she would need to do in an eye exam. I want to help her but don’t know how. She doesn’t need to suffer eye strain or blurriness on top of what she already is faced with. Just not sure how to handle this. Going to try to speak to the MD on staff at mom’s nursing home. She returns to visit with her neurologist next Wednesday. Perhaps I should ask him as well.
Thanks very much for your feedback! It is so inspiring to hear your story. Thanks for sharing!

I am blind in what was my stronger eye. I now wear scrip glasses but it has NOT slowed me down a bit. The Grace of God saved my life…I RE-learned to walk @ over 50. My only prob is a ‘short term memory’…taken care of with a ‘day runner’ & as my MOTHER can’t deal, I am in an ‘assisted living’ with people HER age (80)
Annie was in my ‘Circle of Willis’ …HOWEVER I am ALIVE, by the GRACE of GOD.
What a wonderful attitude you have and an inspiring will for life! I admire you! I think my mother has that same spark because she too, at age 65 is alive after 3 brain surgeries, removal of blood clots and frontal lobe brain tissue and a craniotomy of her forehead! It is just amazing! Unfortunately, there is no way to get feedback from her on symptoms such as vision loss or hearing loss. She still has the trachea tube and feeding peg as well. I will ask her doctors what can be done to ensure she is taken care of and if there is a way they can adjust her prescription by some other way of testing vision etc.
Thanks for sharing your story with me. You are an amazing person! God bless!
I don’t know, but my husband’s eyes changed colors from golden brown to blue-ish and now green/brown. He can see little from one eye that looks a little bug-eyed and the other eye needs glasses, but his old Rx doesn’t work for him now.
