Can't Focus

by rivers1944, Oct 03, 2007 07:43PM
When I was looking at various architectual drawings, there seemed to be circular closing on my vision.  Couldn't see nor focus in the center of vision.  After a period of time...1-2 hours it was fone.  Any hypothesis?  Thanks

Most likely diagnosis "ophthalmic migraine". Use the search function on this page to search that term and read previous posts.  Could however be lack of blood to eye or brain (transient ischemic attack), or disese of heart, brain or blood vessels.

Very important to schedule a comprehensive medical eye exam with a Eye MD physician (ophthalmologist) in the near future. After you see him/her you need to schedule a full physical exam with appropriate tests and lab with your personal physician.

Important, do it.
