Abstract Objective To investigate and analyze the types of visual impairment and their prevalence by collecting data from stroke patients. Methods After being diagnosed with stroke by neurologists, ocular pathology and visual function such as visual acuity, eye position and movement, visual perception and visual field, etc., were examined. Results One hundred forty-seven stroke patients were recruited with a mean age of (71.7±13.3)years. Of these, 46.9% had eye alignment/ movement impairment, 34.0% had visual field impairment, 19.7% had low vision or were blind and 19.0% had visual perceptual difficulties. Conclusion Some kind of visual impairment was found in 72.1% of the stroke patients. This not only affects the patient's ability to live independently but also affects the results of clinical rehabilitation. Doctors should give a lot of attention to visual therapy and rehabilitation for stroke patients.
