Based on the patient's symptoms described in the case study and your understanding of how visual information travels from the eyes to the brain, where is the most likely location of the damage or lesion causing this specific pattern of vision loss? Explain your reasoning.

The optic chiasm is an X-shaped structure located just below the cerebral cortex where the optic nerves from both eyes merge. At this junction, visual information is sorted and rerouted. Specifically, signals from the right visual field of both eyes are directed to the left hemisphere of the brain, while signals from the left visual field are sent to the right hemisphere.
