Vision whiteout

Vision whiteout

During the last few years, whenever I am working outside in the heat of the summer, I experience vision whiteout, all color goes away, the apparent light intensity gets so bright I can not see and must close my eyelids.  After resting, color comes back and light intensity returns to normal.

Dear mirgitroy,

I would recommend that you wear proactive sunwear and also seek the care of an eyeMD if this happens. Whether this is photoreceptor bleaching or an issue with your optic nerve needs to be determined.
