Symptom: Vision loss
Introduction: Vision loss
Any type of vision loss (e.g. blindness, blurred vision, double vision, etc.)
is a symptom of great concern.
Many of the causes are very serious medical conditions.
Certain types of vision changes can be a medical emergency
where delay can lead to loss of sight (e.g. for causes such as glaucoma, eye injury, retinal detachment)
or loss of life (e.g. for causes such as stroke, TIA, etc.).
Even transient or temporary blindness or loss of vision cannot be ignored
because it can
result from serious conditions such as stroke, TIA, hypertension, epilepsy, or
migraine.
Seek immediate professional medical attention for any such symptoms of vision changes.
