It usually presents as painless, sudden loss of vision mostly in one eye. Sometimes, it starts with blurred vision, floaters may be seen and then gradually progress to total vision loss. People with Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disorders, glaucoma, smoking habit are at high risk of getting eye stroke.
