Hi Di,
Vision difficulties are a common result of stroke, however if the visual difficulties that you are experiencing are new, or have gotten worse since your stroke, I would strongly recommend seeking medical attention. It is unlikely that they are related to your stroke 28 years ago.
New vision changes may be a sign of another stroke or another form of vision disorder or eye infection. Your GP may refer you to an optometrist for further assessment.
If we can be of any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm AEST)
