| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @Louisepenny87 @OTalk_ It’s my role-emerging placement! I’m a disability blogger so I want to combine OT with blogging. I don’t really know what it’s going to look like as of yet still early days! #OTalk pt 1 |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk okay folks, just to say again that more time will be spent on question 1 and especially question 4 as I am sure we will all be learning a lot tonight. Question 1 coming shortly |
 | Katie Basak @KatieBasak @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP @FollowBIOS It's been a while since I last used twitter but I'm here & will try to keep up! #OTalk |

| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @Louisepenny87 @OTalk_ But I will be doing many blogs about OT and my role as an ex-service user, a presentation about the impacts of the online community and an #OTalk! I’m also wanting to plan an online intervention of a forum of some kind for parents after been given a new diagnosis for their child |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @drlisataylor @OTalk_ Welcome! We hope you enjoy your first #OTalk Great to have you join us with your experience in the field! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @Louisepenny87 @OTalk_ I think you should do a @thewfot oral presentation or poster on it. #otalk |

| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk - that's great, welcome Lisa |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Well- sometimes we have stroke patients with unilateral neglect. So, they often will lack awareness of their affected side, as this is a vision issue. #otalk |

| Rowena Padamsey @RowenaPadamsey I tend to use the Mary warren model to try to understand visual function better #OTalk |
| Dr Claire Howard @ChowardClaire @chungsongyau Stroke can affect central visual acuity, eye movements, visual field, visual perception, depth perception and can alter the way in which we see the world in many ways #OTalk |

| Rachel TeasdaleSmith @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau Visual hallucinations #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley Agreed and patients can have both. Rehab outcomes for either are quite different #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RowenaPadamsey I find this mode helpful too #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget those hashtags folks #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk yes, visual screening is essential to account for the various possibilities that can occur and not just the obvious signs. Thank you for joining us Claire @ChowardClaire |
| Dr Claire Howard @ChowardClaire @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau yes changes in central vision / acuity are common #OTalk |
| Dr Lisa Taylor @drlisataylor @ChowardClaire @chungsongyau #OTalk and to discriminate between the sensory problem of vision and the perceptual problem of neglect/inattention. Always sensory assessment first. |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau As some of our esteemed orthoptist colleagues have written, stroke can affect vision in the following ways; 1. Loss of central vision 2. Visual field loss 3. Visual perceptual abnormalities 4. Eye movement abnormalities #OTalk |

| Ed Sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @chungsongyau My colleague worked with someone with Balint's syndrome #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Absolutely Claire. Hopefully we’ll come into screening during the chat this evening. Mary Warren’s visual hierarchy is a good thing to have up on your office wall to help give you some structure and reminders of what to look for #OTalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau More headaches? #OTalk |

| Dr Claire Howard @ChowardClaire @CeeCeeOT @chungsongyau Although vision can be affected in just one eye, usually when peripheral vision is affected it's the left side of both eyes rather than just the left eye #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk such a good point. I remember the times when we, as OTs, jumped on visual perceptual assessments without really knowing if someone could actually see properly first. |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 RT @YmchwilStroc: @chungsongyau As some of our esteemed orthoptist colleagues have written, stroke can affect vision in the following ways; 1. Loss of central vision 2. Visual field loss 3. Visual perceptual abnormalities 4. Eye movement abnormalities #OTalk |
 | Holly Graham @HollyGtheOT @chungsongyau Varying types visual field losses like hemianopia, eye movement difficulties like nystagmus. Blurry vision, diplopia, visual perception issues like visual hallucinations or finding it difficult to recognise people/objects #OTalk |

| Dr Lauren Hepworth @lauren_hepworth @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau These are the main 4 categories, the prevalence at which they occur is a slightly different order: 1. central vision loss, 2. eye movement problems, 3. visual field loss, 4. visual perception deficits #OTalk |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau And important to understand any acuity issues prior to stroke too #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau When I worked in acute stroke we would also see people with retinal artery occlusions, so complete loss of vision in one eye #otalk |

| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope 4 main categories of sight problems after Stroke #Otalk |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk Great responses everyone, and just a supplementary question as we have so many visual conditions mentioned - how do these affect people's lives and occupations (valued activities)? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChowardClaire @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau and driving also involves another thing- what if these patients are power wheelchair/scooter users before the stroke? #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @ChowardClaire @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau Often amazes me how well people can describe the changes to their vision. So often the words they use give you lots of clues to the issues before you even start any formal screening!! “What changes have you noticed with your vision?” #OTalk |

 | Nicola pinkney @Nicpinkney @RCOT_NP A great idea having this up on the wall; working in Neuro rehab our patients often come to us months down the line having had ++assessments. I feel deskilled completing these screens as I tend to jump straight into the treatment of what has already been identified! #otalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau May need extra support, resulting in being more dependent. #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @RowenaPadamsey Hi Rowena, are you able to describe Antons syndrome for those who don’t know? #OTalk |
| Dr Lisa Taylor @drlisataylor @BillWongOT @ChowardClaire @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau #OTalk I worked very closely with the orthoptist and the perimetry tests were really useful visual representation of the visual loss to individuals who couldn't understand why they could not drive. |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @lauren_hepworth @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau Thanks @lauren_hepworth Could you define what you mean by central vision loss? Thanks :) #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley Just about all function is affected if vision is affected. I can’t even cope with out contacts never mind a field loss/ diplopia #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk Great responses everyone, and just a supplementary question as we have so many visual conditions mentioned - how do these affect people's lives and occupations (valued activities)? |
| Rachel TeasdaleSmith @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau Often a big impact on confidence/anxiety in completing activities #OTalk |
| Holly Graham @HollyGtheOT @KatieBasak @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau Or nystagmus. Potentially any change to vision could cause an increase in headaches due to the eye fatigue that may be experienced #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk working with orthoptists is so valuable. Assessing and finding gaze palsies was one of the first things I learned. |
| Aisling Durkin @ais_d @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau And any other visual issues prior to stroke. I remember the first assessment where a patient had lens replacement surgery and the eye shook like jelly! I went away and rather frantically phoned the orthoptist to find out what was going on! #OTalk #MDTworking |

| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley The challenge for the stroke population is that coping/ compensating for the vision is made so much harder if there is also a cogntive impairment. #OTalk |

| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 RT @JasminLaffy: @chungsongyau Can lead to safety concerns (increased falls risk). Affect their ability to drive safely. Decreasing independence in the community. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau I know at the nursing homes I work at, roaming around in wheelchair can be a meaningful occupation for some stroke patients. So, having harder times because of safety issues, that might forced them to be in bed more, or require more staff support to ensure safety. #otalk |

| Aisling Durkin @ais_d @chungsongyau Because we gain so much information about our environment from our vision it has a huge impact on almost everything that we do.

| Rowena Padamsey @RowenaPadamsey @RCOT_NP Agreed- sometimes in an acute setting that’s all we get time for before patients leave hospital. So frustrating and makes it hard to maintain confidence and competence in treatment #OTalk |
| Dr Lisa Taylor @drlisataylor @katvancleef @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau #OTalk I have used cancellation types of tests and other pictures where individuals needed to scan and used to observe "how" they completed the scanning when they filled it in. Reading tasks too. |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk The ECLOs are great. Very helpful and reassuring for people. |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau It’s important to consider location of stroke to help support decision making and to communicate more clearly around the neglect / hemianopia issue. You need to k ow what you are assessing. I think consistency in team communication & terminology is important here too #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @angeydoll @chungsongyau Really important point here. For acute therapists particularly, if you can get out on home visits this is crucial. Will often be able to perform and compensate much better in their own familiar environment #OTalk |

| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 #OTalk In our acute stroke unit, the orthoptists trained the MDT in administering acuity assessments, so at least this aspect of a person's vision (not necessarily impacted by the stroke) could be known right away. This allows assessments and rehab to proceed with confidence |
| Aisling Durkin @ais_d @angeydoll @chungsongyau And also think about what adaptations can be temporary to support with the initial return home. Again - i am a big fan of using a bright tape on stairs, cupboards, shelves - anything to increase contrast and visual feedback within the home environment. #OTalk |
