10. Stroke
A stroke disrupts blood flow to the brain, and depending on the area of the brain affected and the stroke’s severity, a stroke survivor may have vision problems. These may include vision loss, light sensitivity and double vision. The eyes may not work well together anymore, causing blurriness.
Wearing a patch over one eye may help alleviate blurred vision resulting from a stroke. Using prism lenses that bend light may also help normalize vision following a stroke.18‘Stroke’s Effect on Vision.’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 26 June 2017, www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/strokes-effect-on-vision.
