what causes tunnel vision?

Question

What causes dizziness and tunnel vision during exercise?

Answer 1

Many causes: Many disorders can cause tunnel vision. The most common are migraines, glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa.

Answer 2

Many, such as:: Lack of eye contact, "red eye" in flash photos is absent or unequal in 2 eyes, cross-eyes, deviated eyes (occasional cross-eyes is ok, all the time is not).

Answer 3

How eyes move: From birth, eyes should move together to look at things. By 1 month, baby will want to look at your face. By two months, baby's eyes will follow your face if you move around, and by 4 months baby will be able to look at and focus on you from across the room.

Answer 4

Tracking problems: By two to three months, most infants can track an object with their eyes across the midline (usually a parent's face or an interesting toy). Infants who are not tracking past the midline should be evaluated. Other symptoms to be concerned about would be the appearance of a "lazy eye" or the appearance of an abnormal red light reflex in pictures.

Answer 5

Baby: Check for crossing eyes, abnormal reflex on photos, or lazy eyes that drift outward. If any of these show up, see your pediatrician and a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Answer 6

Good followup: The key to slowing down vision loss from glaucoma is having regular testing with a glaucoma care specialist and using a therapy that lowers eye pressure enough to preserve vision while avoiding side effects. If it's a medication, then proper usage and compliance/persistence are critical.

Answer 7

Stop losing anymore: Unfortunately, you can't get back what you've lost already. However, even with advanced glaucoma, most people don't have any symptoms. Therefore its very important that you treat the glaucoma so you don't lose anymore vision.

Answer 8

Treatment, checkups: It is really important that you establish a relationship with an eyemd to prevent further damage and get checked regularly. Treatment may vary depending on what you have already tried to control it. Do not waste another day!

Answer 9

Laser or medications: Glaucoma happens when the optic nerve is damaged , usually by high pressures in the back of the eye. Peripheral vision is the first to be harmed. Eye drops can lower the pressure and so can a special laser treatment. By reducing the eye pressures, further damage can be lessened.

Answer 10

Consistent follow-up: Vision loss from glaucoma is often subtle at first.. But with significant damage, loss may rapidly worsen. Consistent, regular care is essential. The patient must use his medications and keep regular appointments for eye-pressure checks, visual field tests, and optic nerve exams. An ophthalmologist is best trained to offer the most appropriate treatments of drops, laser or surgery.

Answer 11

Ask a glaucoma doc: Glaucoma therapy currently prevents future vision loss but does not recover vision already lost from glaucoma. It would be important to maximize the vision left, continue regular eye care, and help with any other reversible changes.

Answer 12

Get medical help: These symptoms related to a change in position may be from an abrupt drop in blood pressure when standing. This can be medication related, or could be cardiac in nature. Sometimes increased intracranial pressure can cause symptoms like this.

Answer 13

Depends: If you are having them on/off , then it could be due to ocular migraine. If its persistent the floater is from your vitreous debris and the tunnel vision could be secondary to glaucoma. Please consult an ophthalmologist..
