Hi, an eye stroke, or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, is a dangerous condition in which blood flow either becomes blocked or reduced to the tissues of the front part of the optic nerve. An eye stroke can cause sudden loss of vision. Most people with eye stroke notice a loss of vision in one eye upon waking in the morning with no pain. Some people notice a dark area or shadow in their vision that affects the upper or lower half of their visual field. Other symptoms include loss of visual contrast and light sensitivity.
