Tom~
Thanks for posting this question.
I've had two mm strokes and my vision is definatly altered re: perception. I am still able to drive (re took the drivers test after stroke one) and do things but my vision sometimes is 'fuzzy' for things that are new and in motion. I used to love birdwatching. Now I can see a bird but am unable to follow it's flight. Sound familier!? I'm at least 4 years past the last stroke and my eyes/brain is beginning to adjust or compensate or improve. Have also had the surgery at Stanford. I've been to eye doc re: this and am told that the connection between the eye and the brain is affected. Sometimes I just need to get home and be 'visually quite'.  It can make me exhausted. Just visited places I haven't  been to for about 3 years and had to 'adjust' visually to each place. I've become familier with the local grocery store (or else I feel comfortable there) so am not as bothered by this, or else I've learned that it happens and I know I can manouver thru it. So I figure I'll just keep adujusting!  Makes walking and doing stuff a real exertion until I get settled.
Hope this has helped.

Tom,

I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with mm as a result of an abrupt change in my vision while playing tennis.  I am a 42 year old white male.  My biggest symptom to date has been disturbances in my depth of field, particularly bad if I try to track any movement.  I have had 6 episodes in the last couple of weeks with an ER admission the result of the last one.  I'm now scheduled to have an angiogram at Columbia Pres. Hosp in NYC on 6/1.  I would be interested if anyone had more information on how best to handle this symptom.  Closing my eyes doesn't seem to help.  When it happens now, I have the visual problem, then a couple of minutes later I get a headache on my neck, then on my forehead and temples.  In retrospect, my wife and I realize now that I have had problems tracking for many years that I have adjusted to... some without knowing.  In addition to the tracking, I've had some visual disturbance that kind of resembles 3-D type vision.  Anyone out there experience that.  Thanks.  Mel

Arianna would be able to tell you what a color was one minute and then tell you it was another the next.  They were never able to determine whether this was a visual or developmental thing.    There were spurts in which she would follow a ball and catch okay and then it was like she could not focus.  Very frustrating to watch and frustrating for her. 
Let us know what turns up with this.
