I’ve had a few TIAs now. They were all different. Can you describe more what you saw? You said everything went white. 100%? You couldn’t see anything but white? Partially? Did you close one eye then the other to see if it was one eye or both? White or bright like overexposed? How long did it last? Did it go away suddenly or slowly? Sorry for playing 20 questions. Just trying to get a better feel about your experience and then I’ll comment.

Thank you for responding. It went totally white in both eyes, slowing diminished. It was like being in a heavy snowstorm in which you could not see that lasted about 10 minutes. Kind of light a white out condition. Have never had this happen before, I do have a constant pressure in my head, but the CT scan showed the brain was normal. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor tomorrow and hopefully he will schedule an MRI. Must admit, it was scary.

Wondering…today experienced a period driving when everything seemed so white! It helps to focus on dark cars, shaded areas, and ultimately, come inside, but what the heck? This has happened once before, and I’m wearing dark shades.
