A few years ago, a blow to back of head resulted in a most interesting experience. 5 minutes after impact, I noticed my eyesight was affected; an area in my field of vision in which printed words became unintelligible to me... I was unable to read words in a specific area of my field of vision, but capable of reading text outside this field. En route to hospital, I noticed the area was pie-shaped and swivelled around point located directly in centre of vision... like sweep area of a radar scope. Text or print within this area became unrecognizable (what I assume dyslexia might be like). This area rotated very slowly and I estimate a complete 360 degree turn in approximately one hour. After which my vision returned to normal. Can this be explained?
