What can cause me to have a blind spot in my left eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serious Causes!: A sudden loss of vision under any circumstance is usually a medical emergency. It usually signifies a decrease in blood flow to the blood vessel that serves that portion of the eye where the vision was loss. We describe phenomena as "amauroses fugax". It usually is indicative of an impending stroke. Other causes could be a mini stroke, a migraine, or if a male, a side effect of an impotence drug.
