What causes the eyes to be suddenly blind?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sudden blindness: Sudden blindness is often caused by a problem with either the retina or the optic nerve of the eye. It is very important to determine the exact cause of the blindness, and this can only be accomplished by having the eyes examined by an eye physician.
