Guide To The Symptoms Of An Ischemic Stroke

Double Vision

As discussed previously, vision loss is a severe symptom of an ischemic stroke. However, it is not the only symptom that is related to a patient's vision. Specifically, many individuals will experience double vision during an ischemic stroke. Double vision is a symptom in which affected individuals will see two images when there should only be one. Some patients will have these images appear side by side, though others will have them appear on top of each other. Of course, both can occur as well. Double vision can contribute to the severity of other ischemic stroke symptoms, such as dizziness and loss of balance.
