A member asked:
Been going temporarily blind in left eye (can not see anything except white) for few seconds at a time, only occasionally. should this be checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Any time you go "blind" even if temporarily you should not hesitate to have an eye exam. This could lead to a more permanent blinding condition.
