šŸ‘ļø What if losing your side vision was actually your brain waving a red flag?

A pituitary tumor can press on the optic chiasmā€”the place where your visual nerves crossā€”causing loss of peripheral vision. šŸ§

Imagine walking into a roomā€¦
and only being able to see one thing at a time.

šŸ§  Youā€™re told to lookā€¦ but your eyes wonā€™t move there
