Can seizures cause blindness

Answer 1

Yes. Brain damage in the occipital cortex region can cause total blindness (no light perception), but retina detachment or optic nerve avulsion from head trauma can cause partial blindness, or blindness in only one eye.

Answer 2

There are many different types of head injuries that can lead to blindness. The key to remember here is that your vision is controlled by your second cranial nerve, the optic nerve. There is an intersection between the two optic nerves coming from your eyes called the optic chiasm. This "intersection" lies just behind the pituitary gland of your brain, and the optic nerves travel all the way to it and then up into the optic radiation within the cortex of the brain through various brain nuclei.

To cause full blindness or visual deficit any lesion or cut along this path will cause either partial or full blindness in the eye(s). This also includes lesions within the brain itself in the visual cortical areas, or occiptal lobe. Another cause of blindness is due to pituitary tumors that compress the optic chiasm which can cause visual damage. Blood hemorrhages in the brain can also compress the optic nerve(s) to cause visual deficits.

These are just a few possible ways that you can get blindness from brain damage but there are many different ways, and yet more ways that are nutritional, genetic, and environmental that can also lead to blindness.

Answer 3

Epilepsy is as a result of irregular patterns of electrical activity in the brain. It doesn't really affect anything else, so it doesn't generally cause other problems like vision. There is a form of epilepsy called photosensitive epilepsy, where flashing lights can cause seizures. That only affects a small percentage of people, being just one form and one cause of the many forms and causes of epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy have absolutely no problem with flashing lights, contrary to the beliefs of some people. For those that do, it isn't causing them to go blind.

Answer 4

it could if the bump is near your eyes or any part of the optical lobes at the back of your head

Answer 5

A head injury causes your vision to blur due to the amount of pressure your head took. The brain cells are so shaken that the cells will expand and blur your vision.

Answer 6

YES, sometimes if u get hit hard it may make your eyes blured or heart for a little
