A member asked:
Dad had temporary 'white out' of vision following daily eye drops & laser surgery to reduce pressure. is this serious? what causes it?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Visual White out: A brief or transient loss of vision, whether it is a blackout or white out, can be quite significant. The differential diagnosis could be a special kind of migraine, seizure, or a significant condition involving the "blood supply" called amaurosis fujax. Transient visual loss can be due to a varied group of disorders, some can be benign and others dangerous. Get him back to his doc.

Have this checked: There are many possibilities for your dad's symptoms. It is best that he discuss this with the surgeon who did his laser asap.
