Ahomonymous hemianopsia
Ahomonymous hemianopsia is the loss of half of the field of view on the same side in both eyes. It occurs frequently in stroke and traumatic brain injuries due to the connections and wiring of the visual system with the brain. The visual images that we see to the right side travel from both eyes to the left side of the brain, while the visual images we see to the left side in each eye travels to the right side of the brain. Therefore, damage to the right side of the posterior portion of the brain can cause a loss of the left field of view in both eyes. Likewise, damage to the left posterior brain can cause a loss of the right field of vision.

Dr. Elliott Stendig gave James a Field of Vision test that pinpointed the blind areas of his eyes. Results were:
1. Vision from midline on both eyes was gone. "This makes driving unsafe!"
2. Myopia, Astigmatism, and Presbyopia
He fitted James with two pairs of glasses one for reading and the other he is to wear at all times.
