@IndianaScott. My husband had an eye stroke from high blood pressure and heart problems in November. He had an eye stoke, but he did not lose the sight totally. He is having injections in the eye every four weeks, though the damage that's been done cannot be undone. The doc said the bleeding from the stoke is slowly being absorbed, but the blurred vision remains.
We were in for another treatment yesterday, and the retina is now swollen. When this started, we had never heard of an eye stroke, but we researched, asked questions, and got answers we didn't want to hear. So far his right eye is okay. I am sorry this happened to you as it did my husband. He is not sightless, but another stroke in that eye will possibly render that outcome.
I'll be interested in what a specialist tells you.

Good luck, and you are not alone; my husband and I are with you and hoping that something can be done.

Hello @retiredteacher Nice to read your kind words and thank you for sharing your husband's experiences with this. I just got the 'good news' from my specialist I can move to 6 month check ups, but along with that now know my right eyesight is gone for good. Nothing to be done in my case and a bit tough to hear him say the only change is the tissue in the eye dying more and more.

Hey, at least our grandsons think it's cool to have a grandpa they can call a pirate now!

I'll chalk that one up to looking on the bright side of things!

Courage, strength, and peace!
