Differentiating between Monocular and Binocular Vision Loss

Assessing vision loss requires considering whether the problem is monocular or binocular. Monocular vision loss may originate from issues in the eyeball or the optic nerve, while binocular vision loss can involve structures like the optic chiasm, optic tracts, and primary visual cortex. Examination techniques and patient symptoms play crucial roles in determining the site of the vision loss.
