Stroke (cerebral vascular accident) is a serious event that can create problems with normal brain functioning.

Eye and vision problems are fairly common after a stroke. You may, for instance, have trouble focusing your eyes when switching your gaze between near and far objects. You may see double or be able to see objects or people on only one side of your body. You may also experience headaches or sensitivity to light, and words on a page may appear to move.

Treatment options include special sector prism glasses and vision rehabilitation therapy.
