Sudden Loss of Vision

Sudden loss of vision or acute visual loss is a medical emergency that requires prompt evaluation and management.

It can be caused by various ophthalmic conditions, some of which can be serious and potentially sight-threatening. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common causes of sudden loss of vision and how Miss Anna Grabowska, a renowned retina eye surgeon, can help.

Causes of Sudden Loss of Vision

The causes of sudden loss of vision can vary depending on the age, medical history, and underlying health conditions of the patient. However, some of the most common causes include:

Z

Retinal detachment: This occurs when the retina detaches from its underlying tissue, causing vision loss. It is usually accompanied by flashing lights and floaters.

Z

Retinal vein/artery occlusion: This occurs when the blood flow to the retina is blocked, usually due to a blood clot. It can cause sudden and painless loss of vision in one eye.

Z

Macular degeneration: This is a common age-related condition that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. It can cause gradual or sudden loss of central vision.

Z

Trauma: An injury to the eye or head can cause sudden loss of vision. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in case of any head injury.
