    Hi there. I wish I could say I'd heard of it before. I haven't and wish you the best in your search for information. 

    Also, you could start a discussion by labeling it with this condition, and there's no telling how many people may respond to it.

    Thank you and God Bless~

    Hi there,

    Para central scotoma is a new term for me. Never heard it before. My stroke has affected my vision too. There is loss of clarity in my vision though it is not really very bad. I dont know if it is scotoma too. Wl ask my neuro about it. Thanks for the info. God bless!

      what has happened to me is that  my central vision is ok and field vision was  blurry then i after  a week i noticed that i couldnt log in to laptop that was when i realized something else was wrong with vision Went for a field vision  test at optician  and found out that there was  an area of vision loss at 11 o clock this is called a para central scotoma With scanning everything  instead of looking i can take in the whole picture as they say although it be a bit differant from the normal way of looking at thingsHope you get an answer soon Did they try the field vision test on you?
