I had a Amblation on the 4th and I have had vision problems today. It was like I was looking through a prisom it was in both eyes and then I lost my right prorifial for about 5 min. The total time was close to 45 min then back to normal. I am 63 year old male
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Ablation is done mostly for atrial fibrillation. And atrial fibrillation can cause thrombosis and embolism. These embolic can travel through blood and lodge in tiny vessels of retina, brain, kidneys etc. When they lodge in retina, they cause decreased blood supply to that part of retina. So retinal ischemia develops. This kind of retinal ischemia can cause visual impairment. So better to consult ophthalmologist and get done retinal angiography to rule out embolism and ischemia. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
