Hi Zebra,
Thank you for sharing your vision experiences. I'm sorry you have been through all that. I watched the video on Amaurosis Fugax which is really excellent.
I have had partial vision loss several times. It lasts for roughly an hour or longer. I was interested that the physician in the video said that if an incident lasts longer than a few minutes, it is likely not a TIA. My eye doc didn't have any helpful thoughts and I'm going to ask my cardiologist.
Thank you again and wishing you all the best with your health.

Hi @lyleswan

Sorry to hear about your vision episodes. That hour must feel like forever. So unnerving. I hope you find some answers soon.

If you don’t already, keep a medical diary to see if you can find the trigger. Jot down everything during the 24 hours prior to the episode like food eaten, any new meds or supplements, activities, stress, sleep, any other symptoms, etc. Describe the vision episode while it’s fresh. It’s surprising how fast we can forget details. I’m always surprised when I read old notes. I write it like Captain Kirk on Star Trek asking questions, capturing my thoughts about what it could be. I’m the only one that reads it later and it’s helpful to know what I thought at the time. Maybe something simple like food allergies or dehydration…something preventable. One can hope!!! Best of luck! Zebra
