Initial visual assessment was at median 22\u00a0days post stroke onset. Eight percent had normal visual assessment. Of 92% with confirmed visual impairment, 24% had reduced central visual acuity &lt;0.3\u00a0logMAR and 13.5% &lt;0.5\u00a0log<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MAR<\/jats:styled-content>. Acquired strabismus was noted in 16% and acquired ocular motility disorders in 68%. Peripheral visual field loss was present in 52%, most commonly homonymous hemianopia. Fifteen percent had visual inattention and 4.6% had other visual perceptual disorders. Overall 84% were visually symptomatic with visual field loss the most common complaint followed by blurred vision, reading difficulty, and diplopia. Treatment options were provided to all with confirmed visual impairment. Targeted advice was most commonly provided along with refraction, prisms, and occlusion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>There are a wide range of visual disorders that occur following stroke and, frequently, with visual symptoms. There are equally a wide variety of treatment options available for these individuals. All stroke survivors require screening for visual impairment and warrant referral for specialist assessment and targeted treatment specific to the type of visual impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,7]],"date-time":"2017-10-07T04:08:36Z","timestamp":1507349316000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Vision In Stroke cohort: Profile overview of visual impairment"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9210-9131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fiona J.","family":"Rowe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Liverpool  Liverpool UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"the VIS writing Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1475-1313.2002.00080.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","unstructured":"British and Irish Orthoptic Society.
