My eyes were just fine: it's the brain that was the cause here. When it occurs, I can close one eye then the other and still not see in half of my FoV.
Part of my brain was not irrigated and did not function properly...
There was nothing in /var/logs: I couldn't perceive that I was half blind. syslogd crashed :-)
- a-priori 12y agoIs this always one half of your field of view? Or is it one half of certain objects (e.g. your face)? If it's the first, then it sounds like damage to one visual pathway. The visual input from each eye is divided into left and right fields, and they're processed independently. Here's a good illustration: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Constudeyepath.gif#mediaviewer/File:Constudeyepath.gif http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Constudeyepath.gif#me... After the optic chiasma, the two pathways diverge. Damage any time after there, such as to the occipital lobe of one hemisphere, could result in blindness to one half of the field of view.
- weddpros 12y agoIt's really one side of my field of view. It've talked about the face because I did not perceive that half my field of view was missing, but when looking at myself in the mirror, I saw one eye was missing... But it really was half of my field of view.
