Oh, I am sorry! I guess I am not thinking so well. I see now that I
did not mention that I managed to get an emergency appointment with
an ophthalmologist's office. I should have said "It was
preliminarily diagnosed to be contracted blood vessel in my left
eye." Thank you very much for the concern. You are totally
correct. I had various tests. I will have a visual field test in a
week. It should tell whether a stroke was involved at all or if there
is any permanent damage.

You should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Regardless if this is a stroke or a retina problem, with these
problems the chance is much better when it is recognized and
treated early. In both cases a delay of hours can be fatal. So far
I know they can fix the retina with laser nowadays, but when blood
vessels ore nerves are affected then it might too late.
Take this serious please!
Best wishes to you,
Peter

Thanks for the kind words. It appears it was very likely not a stroke
but rather a contracted blood vessel in my left eye. It went away.
I'll be having more tests in a week. I thought maybe I was going
blind. My wife has had a long bout with temporal arteritis, which
can cause blindness, so I was very concerned.
