您的视力不仅取决于我们的眼睛,还取决于从眼睛到大脑的完整视觉途径。在任何时候对这种视觉途径的伤害会导致视力丧失,并且经常导致失去独立性。渴望发现患有这些伤害的患者的治疗方法和诊断方法,玛丽·M·MARY M.的教师和斯坦福大学Byers眼科研究所的Sash A. Spencer视力研究中心正在通过部门和多学科合作进行创新研究。Clinician-scientists have recently discovered a myriad of findings relating to this eye-brain connection with implications that may change the way we diagnose and treat concussion- related vision disorders, strokes of the optic nerve or brain (including non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy [ NAION ]), visuo-motor dysfunction, and other diseases, translating their discoveries directly into clinical care优化患者的结果和整体生活质量。(要阅读患者对Naion的经历,请参阅“我的第二次机会:视神经中风之后的患者希望的旅程”,第18页)。
