Why does vision get black sometimes when you rub your eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Circulation: If you press hard enough on the eye, you will stop the blood flow to the eye. This will cause the vision to darken briefly. I suggest not rubbing your eyes this hard, or better, treat the problem that is causing you to rub your eyes.
