I get vision loss with migraines often. Just this morning, actually. But it’s never been a stroke in my eye and never permanent. What happened to you is SO different. Did any of your medical team say if there was anything you could have done to prevent the eye stroke? My migraine hits with auras and within two minutes my sight is gone, all white. (I don’t drive). Bit a rizatriptan and sleep make it stop.. scary as hell.

Yes, it happened to me, lost vision in one eye. I was hospitalized for several days and told it was migraines. It has happened since...shapes, position, and duration vary. Sometimes I have stabbing eye pain.
