A member asked:
What would cause a persons eye sight to dim upon standing or during normal activities?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Check the BP: A temporary dimming of vision upon standing could represent orthostatic hypotension. Check BP while sitting then while standing. Try to avoid dehydration and change positions more gradually.

Get checked: It is possible that you are having a blood flow issue to your eyes. A good general exam is indicated to check your blood pressure, carotid arteries, etc.
