While it is possible to go blind after having a stroke, it is rare. Most strokes only affect one side of the brain. But, because the eye nerves travel together in the brain, both eyes can be affected.

Vision problems stemming from a stroke may include:

  • Visual agnosia: when you have difficulty recognizing familiar faces and objects by sight
  • Nystagmus: This is a condition characterized by an unsteady movement of the eyes when trying to focus their vision
  • Dry eyes
  • Having trouble controlling eye movements
