Q It presents with painless & gradually progressive loss of vision Q with enlargement of blind-spot & progressive contraction of visual field. In papilloedema the visual loss is in significant. In papilloedema there is painless gradually progressive loss of vision which is usually bilateralQ which occurs after a long time only when optic atrophy sets in. Lesions of the calcarine coex (a pa of occipital lobe) usually produces a macular sparing congruous homonymous hemianopia, whereas injuries to the tip of the occipital coex produces the same without macular sparing.
