    The visual pathway consists of the eyeball, retina, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve, optic chiasma, optic tract, lateral geniculate body, optic radiations, and visual cortex. Lesions at different points along the pathway can cause different visual field defects, such as central scotomas from retinal lesions, anopia from optic nerve lesions, and homonymous hemianopias from more posterior lesions in the optic chiasm, tract, or cortex. The specific visual field defects depend on the location of the lesion along the visual pathway.
