A member asked:
Yesterday i experienced sudden temporary loss of peripheral vision in my left eye. which lasted under 1 minute - no headache followed. any thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Merits evaluation: Although migraine can cause a transient visual symptom, amaurosis fugax can occur as a result of an embolism of plaque from the carotid artery on the same side as the affected eye; and there are other possible causes of the symptom. A visit to an ophthalmologist would be a good first step.
