Brief Answer:
Visit your neurologist, Get Vitamin B12 and thyroid levels checked.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern. There are various causes for eye numbness like Diabetes, Peripheral neuropathy, Sensory nerve trauma, Conjunctivitis, Sensory nerve compression, Cold, Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) or Eye injury.
Yes as you have a previous history of stroke and also presence of multiple old bleeds, these can have long term effects on the nerves and cause numbness.
Other causes like Vitamin B12 deficiency or thyroid disorders can also present with above symptoms.
I would suggest you to visit your neurologist for an MRI or EEG for detailed examination, better diagnosis and treatment. You should get your vitamin B12 and thyroid levels checked as well.
I hope this answered your query.
