Mini Stroke

03/09/2010

Question:

I had a mini stroke when I was 34 years old. I have eye problems in the so I only use one eye at a time. It was not until I covered my right eye that I noticed that I couldn`t see out of my left eye. I went to my eye specialist at that time and he sent me to a specialist right away because he could not see any thing wrong with my eye. After three days my sight came back. But I am still having problems with that seeing in that eye. If I just use that eye I can`t see any thing because it is so blurry. I can see general shapes but to pick out any thing I can`t see it. I went to my eye specialist yesterday and he told me that is nothing that they can fix. It is caused by the mini stroke. I am now 36 and have had no signs of a mini stroke since. Does that mean that I am not at an increase risk for a major stoke now after two years? I thought that a mini stroke didn`t leave any permanent damage. Can mini strokes leave permanent damage or can you explain what might have happened?
