A member asked:
What causes your surroundings to get extremely bright when lightheaded? why does it happen? is it a warning before fainting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your visual center is in the back of your brain, and it is very sensitive to drops in oxygen. You can either have extreme brightness, or darkness.
