A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is compromised. Potential causes of this compromised blood supply include a ruptured or blocked blood vessel in the brain. Without blood and the oxygen it carries, brain tissue normally supplied by that damaged blood vessel dies. Many individuals are left permanently blinded after a stroke. How could a stroke cause blindness, and why aren't all stroke victims left blinded?
