Hi Caroline mac, I lost the sight in my stroke affected left side but I am thankful to say it came back with in a few months, only because the doctors and nurses made me use my left eye all the time,and all my visitors. I was very lucky in that respect. Strangely I can't see through binoculars with my left eye. Maybe I should get a telescope like a pirate (ha ha mi hearties). I do feel you should be getting more intensive therapy for your sight, I should enquire with your optician and GP

Hi Caroline.

Following my Stroke in 1998 I also have big problems with my eye sight.

The Stroke effected my left side.

I have had operations on my left eye as I have got double vision.

The latest was to have my eye lids sown together.

Due to the left eye wasn't watering itself.

Initially I was using drops but as my health has deteriorated further this had become very difficult.

Please let me know if I can help you further???

Steve.

Hi Caroline.

Yes time is a great healer.

You are still in the process of improvement.

Are you being seen in an Eye Hospital ???

Staying confident is also a good help in your recovery.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

Steve.

HI STEVE made me happy you saying I am still in the process of improvement I DO HOPE SO it has been 10 months now yes I am still attending hospital they don't tell me a lot but have said my eyes and optic nerves are healthy so I think this is a positive thing they don't tell me it will come back but say it is a waiting game hope you are ok CAROLINE

Hi Caroline.

Yes you have just started & I don't want to say "it's early days".

You have to make it happen, working hard at things will bring you "gold"in the end.

I have spoken too stroke patients in the past who were told that things stopped once they hit 12mnts post stroke.

"Well"

They would stop working for improvements at 12mnts.

No they have only started!!!

Yes that sounds great news with your eyes.

I'm so pleased for you, yes I had/still have problems with my eyes. But it doesn't worry me one bit to be honest.

Let me know if I can help you further ??

Steve.
