A member asked:
What is transistent cortical blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain vision loss: The eye sends information to the brain (occipital lobe) which computes the image we see as vision. If there is a disturbance to the function of this part of the brain, that is short term and returns to normal, we call it transient cortical blindness. This can be a circulatory problem, due to trauma or to some rare drug side effects. A neurologist can help you sort this out.
