lost some of my periphal
vision....example........a 20% solar
eclipse.......that's what i see.....the
outer side of my eye is black.....i went
to a retinologist...it's not retinal
detachment......the opt. that did the
surgery said that it was a shadow, and it
would go away in about a month...that was

You can ask for an answer to this question
from the ophthalmologist who performed the
operation. A stroke can cause vision
loss... but this is confirmed with a
CT-scan of the head.
