If you have Diplopia, or double vision, then you need to get it checked if it’s sudden onset. Could be 3rd nerve palsy, 6 nerve palsy, etc.
Yes, it's possibly a mild stroke. See a doctor.
You should visit your ophthalmologist to rule out any serious condition in your retina.
Sudden onset change in vision including blurred vision, loss of vision, and distorted vision can be due to dangerous causes including, but not limited to, macular degeneration, swelling, or bleeding in the back of the eye. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent potentially irreversible vision loss in most cases.
