Temporary partial loss of peripheral vision
Good afternoon,
Would anyone be able to shed some light on an occurence that has now happened three times in the last six months (most recently, today). Without warning, my vision has become somewhat degraded (reading is possible, but takes more concentration); it feels like I have an enlarged blind spot in which some of my peripheral vision is blurred but with a sense of movement. The first time it happened my right eye was affected, the second time it was my left. Today, both eyes were affected. In each case, I have sat down and closed my eyes during which time I was aware of a slight sensation in my eyes, not painful but something felt slightly different. This feeling has gradually receded over ten minutes or so after which everything is completely normal. I am 43 years old, I do not wear glasses or contact lenses and I have always passed my medicals with no problems at all. All three episodes have happened at home at times when I was relaxed and under no stress. I have searched this forum and elsewhere without success. I have made an appointment for an eye test but will have to wait four weeks.
Any comments gratefully received. Thanks.
