Specializes in Ophthalmology

Don't Ignore: Any dramatic change in a sensory function, such as vision should be investigated. That being said, if this was very abbreviated, and short-lived, then it might only represent a migraine variant. Only with a complete examination can this be determined, however please don't ignore this.
