What Causes Sudden Onset Of Blurred Vision?

Question: I have blurred vision in my left eye for 9 hours now I am concerned cause I have had 2 storks Would this be another?
Brief Answer:
Yes stroke is probable.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Considering your history of sudden visual impairment and previous history of stroke which makes you a high risk person, there is a strong probability this may be related to a stroke recurrence.
I suggest you head to the ER to be evaluated for the type of visual loss and possible imaging of the brain and blood vessels. In vision loss in one eye often the cause is related to an atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery releasing emboli in the circulation or lowering blood flow.
I hope things work out for the best.
