Split-Second Blackout in Vision

Since end of April of 2016, I've been experiencing weird vision symptoms such as distortion. Lately, I've developed a new symptom where I would experience a split-second blackout in vision without consciousness. I've seen a eye specialist, glaucoma specialist, and retina specialist, where they all ruled out negative for eye disease except that I've pigment dispersion syndrome that is not yet leading to glaucoma. Aside of all this, I'm going for a MRI Scan soon and I'm just wondering if I may have a brain tumour that is causing these symptoms?

I know, I'm just really worried. It seems that they might not find a answer and it's effecting my vision. I just don't understand what is effecting my vision if my eyes and brain are stated to be healthy.

Hoping it ain't cancer related.

You said something like that before and not high on the list of most likely causes.

It's not first on the list or even second but the MRI should give you good reassurance that is not the cause. If the problem persists ask the ophthalmologist you've seen to refer you to a neuro-ophthalmologist.
