Case: The Patient Blind with Healthy Eyes
Captions available
The idea
A patient whose eyes and optic nerves are undamaged and who cannot see has damage to the occipital lobe.
In practice
Pupils respond normally to light while the patient reports no visual experience at all.
Where people slip
The eye is a receptor, not the seat of vision. Sight is lost at the back of the head here.
