Introduction Overview Rationale

Learning objective: Understand the organization of the partial crossing of bers in the optic chiasm. The nasal (medial) retinal bers for each eye, which are responsible for information in the temporal (lateral) hemields, cross the midline at the optic chiasm. Lesions of the middle portion of the optic chiasm therefore produce bitemporal visual eld defects (bitemporal hemianopia). Left eye Right eye
