Tunnel vision
Tunnel Vision and Tumors[edit | edit source]
Tunnel Vision and Tumors are two distinct medical conditions. Tunnel vision refers to a type of visual impairment where peripheral vision is reduced, giving the impression of seeing through a tunnel. A Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should.
Tunnel Vision[edit | edit source]
Tunnel vision can be caused by various factors, including eye diseases, neurological disorders, and even psychological conditions. It is characterized by a loss of peripheral vision while central vision remains intact.
Causes of Tunnel Vision[edit | edit source]
Common causes include:
- Glaucoma
- Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Stroke
- Migraines
Symptoms and Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Symptoms of tunnel vision include a noticeable decrease in peripheral vision. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination.
Tumors[edit | edit source]
A tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue. Tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can occur in various parts of the body.
Causes of Tumors[edit | edit source]
Tumors occur when cells divide and grow excessively. Factors contributing to tumor growth include genetic mutations, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Symptoms and Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Symptoms depend on the tumor's location and size. Diagnostic methods include imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests.
Treatment and Prognosis[edit | edit source]
Treatment for tunnel vision focuses on managing the underlying cause. Tumor treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods. The prognosis depends on various factors, including the type and stage of the tumor, as well as the individual's overall health.
