What is temporary blind?

Temporary blindness is a condition in which an individual experiences a sudden and temporary loss of vision. It may affect one or both eyes and may last from a few seconds to several minutes. The causes of temporary blindness may vary and may include migraine headache, stroke, retinal detachment, cataracts, glaucoma, and injury to the eye. It is important to seek medical attention if one experiences temporary blindness as it may indicate a serious underlying condition. Treatment for temporary blindness depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, surgery, or changes in lifestyle. Taking preventative measures such as wearing protective eyewear and getting regular eye exams can also help reduce the risk of temporary blindness.
