Hello, I'm an expert in medical health with a focus on ophthalmology. While a "stroke" in the eye isn't exactly the same as a stroke in the brain, there is a condition known as a retinal artery occlusion or a retinal vein occlusion, which can be considered analogous to a stroke because it involves a blockage of blood flow to the retina. This can lead to vision loss and requires immediate medical attention.

The optic nerve connects your eyes to your brain. ... When you have an optic nerve stroke the blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to this nerve get blocked or too narrow, which causes sudden loss of vision. After an optic nerve stroke, you may have permanent loss of some vision in one eye.
