Opthalmologist is definitely the answer. It may take some testing, but they will have the facilities and answers. Hopefully it will be something simple, like me -- I had a cataract that was causing the double vision -- which is atypical for a cataract, but DOES happen more than people think. Had the surgery and can see fine now! Good luck!

Unilateral blockage in a carotid artery almost never causes the symptoms you describe.
As others have said, see an opthamologist.
Also, she should have the carotid problem followed by a vascular surgeon.

This could be due to a lot of things from a focal loss of function in her brain to something going on with her eyes / eye muscles. She needs to see a dr. & get a detailed exam.
With her history of TIA's and carotid blockage; I would suspect something going on in her brain. BUT I'm not a doctor.
Has she lost function in other parts of her body, like one side of her body, arm, leg, etc. weakness or paralysis; one side off her face drooping; difficulty understanding or talking; has her gait changed; has her personality suddenly changed? If so, she needs to go to the hospital now.

She has to see an eye doctor. I don't mean an optometrist...she needs to see and ophthalmologist (they are medical doctors). She has way too much going on and needs special testing they cannot do in an optometrist's office. They just don't handle things like this. Make an appointment for her and go with her.
