Yes: An excerpt from neurology describes this syndrome by "visual, oculomotor, and behavioral abnormalities, often without significant motor dysfunction. Rostral brainstem infarction produces oculomotor and pupillary signs"; "temporal and occipital infarctions are frequently accompanied by hemianopia." so your answer is yes you can lose vision from the consequence of a stroke (from an embolism ).
