My eyes
I would like to know why sometimes my eye sight blinks out and I can't see what I am doing, especially when I am driving?
Could be lots of things but please see an eye doctor fast! It could be serious. Good luck.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you do not have blindness literally, but suffer from episodes of blackouts then those could be due to postural hypotension (falling with change of position), internal ear problems, cervical spondylitis, anemia, GERD, hypoglycemia or low sugar and some endocrine problems. I think you should discuss this with your doctor. Get your blood pressure checked.
This also looks like an episode of transient ischemic attack wherein the blood supply to brain is temporarily cut off. The episodes last for a maximum of 24 hours and then resolve or a new symptom starts. Otherwise it could be due to ophthalmic nerve compression by a tumor or an aneurysm or a cyst. Please consult a neurologist. You will need to undergo a MRI of the brain.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
