Question 1

i had a gray out. lost all vision in one eye temporarily while working online and getting stressful email. what was that?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: May have been an ocular migraine, but another possibility is amaurosis fugax, related to impairment of blood supply and possibly associated with increased risk of stroke.  You should have a dilated eye exam, screening for blood pressure/cholesterol and possibly additional testing such as an ultrasound of your carotid arteries.

Question 2

gray area of vision in lower quadrant of one eye that lasts anout 5 minutes then goes away?

Accepted Answer

Definitely get exam: This could be anything from a visual migraine to a tia.  The fact that the gray area is in a quadrant does suggest a possible cerebral problem (visual pathways in the brain rather than from the eye itself), but a direct problem in the eye is still possible. An eye exam by an ophthalmologist and possibly a visual field test will help to determine the cause.

Question 3

what could cause sudden blurred, grayed vision with halos around lights in one eye that seemed to resolve in 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

Migraines: You may have migraines.Talk to your doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Question 4

i've got more and more eye floaters in my eyes. i'm 24 and there's more it's horrible when i'm driving and go outside. where ever it's lit up i can see them. there long and cricle ones and now some are gray. i just had to get glasses, why so many ?

Accepted Answer

Ophthalmologist: Floaters are usually not a serious eye issue but are more of a nuisance. However if they occur in showers they can indicate retinal detachment. If you have many floaters have an examination by an ophthalmologist even if it's for peace of mind.

Question 5

tired/heavy eyes after stressful day, vision seems to fade/get darker when watching tv. causes? i tend to clench jaw and be tense all day.

Accepted Answer

Stress,tension: I feel that you would benefit from stress management therapy. Your symptoms are probably all stress and tension related, but if visual symptoms are significant, an ophthalmologist should also examine you as well.

Question 6

why did i have loss of vision and grey field in one eye briefly? under stress then.

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Its difficult to answer these kind of questions, not knowing some information.  However, it could be migrains, tia, amaurosis fugax, visual changes induced by exercise, drop in blood pressure, etc.   Stress in itself wouldn't cause a brief loss of vision, although it has been associated with central serous chorioretinopathy, which can cause a prolonged distortion of vision.

Question 7

sometimes i get phosphenes in my eyes wich will cause a black or grey after flash image and i cannot see through it and the phosphenes will move around inside the patches. then my vision will go back to normal?

Accepted Answer

: Most phosphenes are felt to be caused by pressure on the eyeballs and are harmless&amp;fleeting. However if they are longerlasting , concerns about retinal or optic nerve pathology are raised and should be brought to the attention of your ophthalmologist.

Question 8

if i close one eye, i have faint grey vision, the other eye is clear. if both eyes are open i can see just fine. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

One dysfunctional I: Both eyes together in the presence of one bad eye can commonly be perceived as vision that is fine.  You seem to have one eye with a problem.  It could be uncorrected eyeglass need or some interior eye damage which is disturbing the vision.  You need to see an ophthalmologist to see what is the problem

Question 9

i have had like a grey wall cover half my vision or black link ink in my eye ive had my eye checked and nothing also its happened twice in 5 years. if it was a stroke etc would it have gone? i had the temporary blindness since 17?

Accepted Answer

See Ophthalmologist : Lots of possibilities - stroke, detached retina, glaucoma plus others. Need to see an Ophthalmologist as soon as possible.

Hopefully trivial but could be serious

Question 10

gray spot in vision right eye. 2 days ago the spot only flashed. now, it is a spot that covers my vision. retinal tear/detachment? or more serious?

Accepted Answer

See an eye doctor : Many retinal diseases can be the cause of your symptom.  You should see an eye doctor asap.
