Transient Visual Loss

Transient visual loss refers to a temporary loss of vision that can happen suddenly and last for a short period, usually seconds to minutes. In neuro-ophthalmology, this condition may arise due to various reasons, including reduced blood flow to the optic nerve or problems related to the brain's visual pathways. Common causes include migraines, eye pressure changes, or neurological issues. While it might resolve quickly, it is essential to seek medical attention, as it could indicate underlying health concerns that may require treatment.
