Has anyone ever had a stroke of the eye signalled by aura?

Extremely unlikely: Although qualifiers such as "ever" or "never" are difficult to respond to, aura are most commonly associated with migraine episodes. Symptomatically, they can be very annoying, but are usually benign.

Yes: Retinal artery blockage is caused by atherosclerosis of the retinal artery or its upstream suppliers. Occasionally clots can embolize (originate from a distant location to obstruct another blood vessel) to the retinal artery. Visual symptoms may precede such blockage if it is not abrupt.
