Table 1.
Demographics of stroke admissions.
Fig 1.
Number of days post stroke onset to first attempted visual assessment.
First attempted vision screening was undertaken from day 0 of stroke onset through to a maximum of day 404 (outlier discharged patient who failed to attend earlier outpatient appointments). The majority had been screened within 1 week of stroke onset.
Fig 2.
Reasons for lack of visual assessment at visit 0 (baseline).
Full vision assessment was not possible at baseline for 627 patients. Reasons for no assessment are outlined in orange. Those with partial, but incomplete, vision assessments are outlined in blue.

Assessment of post-stroke visual impairment.
Breakdown of numbers screened, numbers excluded, number recruited to the study, and numbers of those visually assessed or not.

Timing from no assessment at baseline to achieving full visual assessment.
Fig 4.
Categories of visual problems as sole or combined visual deficits and presence of visual problems versus primary systemic disability on admission.
(a) 186 stroke survivors had a single issue with visual function as outlined in orange. Most (566 stroke survivors) had two or more visual problems–outlined in blue. (b) Stroke survivors most commonly had a hemi- or mono-plegia/paresis. The spread of primary general disability was similar for those who did or did not have a visual problem.
Fig 5.
Categories of visual problems; pre-existent, part or new onset.
Visual problems was categorised into new onset (332 stroke survivors–blue bars), pre-existent visual problems (136 stroke survivors–orange bars) and mixed new and pre-existent visual problems (284 stroke survivors–grey bars).
