Posted by davidsage @davidsage, Aug 14, 2025

A week after my TAVR operation five years ago I began to experience a cloud across my eyes and can not see for several seconds. A little dizzy. I lay down for five to ten minutes and it is over. At first this did not occur very often; now occurs several times/week.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

@davidsage May I have when you had your last complete eye examination by an ophthalmologist? Have you brought this situation to the attention of your primary provider or a neurologist? Those are the people qualified to diagnose such a situation.

Here is a "symptom checker" on the Mayo Clinic web site:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptom-checker/eye-problems-in-adults-adult/related-factors/itt-20009075
When this occasionally happens to me, I do a self-check. Usually I am dehydrated OR I have forgotten to use my eyedrops for dry eyes.
