On World Stroke Day today, a reminder of how common visual impairment is due to stroke. Over 60% of stroke survivors develop visual problems. These are not always obvious or 'visible'. And - visual problems can be the only sign of stroke. Active vision screening needed - early!
On this #WorldStrokeDay, what can we do to increase #strokeawareness?
Today is a great day to make sure you know the FAST campaign to recognise the most common symptoms of stroke!
Face weakness/paralysis
Arm weakness
Speech problems
Time (to call 999)
