A member asked:
I had a gray out. lost all vision in one eye temporarily while working online and getting stressful email. what was that?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
