EYE ALSO GET STROKE

An eye stroke is a dangerous health condition that occurs from lack of
sufficient blood flow to the tissues located in front part of the optic
nerve. The health condition may lead to serious consequences if not
diagnosed early. The blockages from the eye stroke can cause dangerous
consequences which may cause blurriness in vision, dark areas or shadows.
It is seen that vision returns 80 percent of the time in case of a less
serious blockage in the smaller arteries. When the optic nerve becomes
completely cut off from the supply of nutrients and oxygen it can cause
damage to nerve tissue resulting in loss of vision. One of the early
symptoms of eye stroke that a person may notice problems of vision in one
eye upon waking up in the morning with no pain. The people may even notice
a dark area or shadow in their vision affecting the upper or lower half of
their visual field. However, it may include loss of visual contrast as well
as light sensitivity. To reduce the risk of developing an eye stroke, eat a
healthy diet comprising of sufficient proteins, keep a check on your blood
sugar and pressure levels and quit smoking and excessive drinking of
alcohol.
