Hi Garry @mealand66 whilst I can’t answer your query, the Stroke I had was in a different area, I just wanted to welcome you to the forum.

Hopefully someone will be along soon that can share their experience.

Best wishes

Hi Gary, Loss of vision and perceptual issues are slightly different. Loss of vision - if this improves within the first month it is a good sign, but if it does not it may be permamnent. It would worth asking your GP to refer you to opthalmology. Wishing you all the best. Kusal

@mealand66 Hi Garry & welcome to the forum. I had an occipital lobe stroke which gave me lots of lovely flashing lines in front of my eyes & also took everything off centre. The lines disappeared after a few weeks & slowly things moved back to where they should be. 18 months on i still have some double vision & blurred vision. Hopefully yours will start to improve. If you’ve not been referred to opthalmology it would be worth asking your GP to do it.

Best wishes
