A mini stroke affecting vision?

Question

An elderly friend of mine thinks he has had a mini stroke and his vision is affected. Will it come back?

Answer 1

No way to be sure unless it is diagnosed in the first instance as a stroke, or something else. Even if it was a stroke there still is no way to be certain of anything. Strokes are completely independent & no two are the same, even in the same patient.
If for arguement sakes your friend has had a stroke. Then his vision may be temporarily affected if there is pressure on the optic nerves & if that pressure is relieved then his vision ,may return to pre-stroke level. However this is also a bad indication as if it is pressure that is casuing his vison impairment then it means there is still abnormal cranial pressure from heomoriging & very dangerous i.e on the way to a larger stroke. Or if the part of the brain that processes visual info has been damaged then the vision impairment may be permanent. There really is no way to judge unless medical assessment is undertaken.

Mini Stroke or any stroke can affect your vision.

There are six major ways a stroke may affect the eye:

1. Blindness - A stroke can affect one eye only, or, if the stroke damages the back of the brain, both eyes will be affected.

2. Loss of vision to one side - Inability to see on one side of both eyes.

3. Double vision.

4. Inability to understand what is seen.

5. Inability to read.

6. Facial nerve (Bell's) palsy - Inability to close the eye on one side.

A neuro-ophthalmologist can detect and treat vision problems associated with stroke. It is important that you see a physician immediately if you have any of the above problems after a stroke to stop the progression and to help in your overall recovery.

He needs to consult a doctor right away! The doctor would be able to tell him better if he will or won't get his vision back to normal.
My Mother had a mini stroke and she never regained complete feeling in her left hand. However she had other complications which might have pervented her from completely healing, diabetes.
He really does need to go to a doctor not just to see if he will get his vision back but to see if he is a likely candidate for more strokes, to make sure there aren't other medical problems which could be causing the 'stroke'.

Sudden occlusion of retinal artery is a mini stroke. Vision is lost in one eye suddenly never to come back. Prevention of some more arteries being occluded is the only help.
