The human eye, where tunnel vision can occur.

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 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.

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.
