amaurosis fugax
Amaurosis fugax is a temporary loss of vision in one eye, usually lasting just a few minutes. It often occurs suddenly and can feel like a curtain falling over your vision. This condition is typically caused by reduced blood flow to the eye, often related to issues like carotid artery problems or other vascular conditions. While the vision usually returns fully, it can be a warning sign of more serious issues, such as stroke or other cardiovascular problems. If experienced, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly for evaluation and management.
