Content: Blockage of the retinal artery of the eye robs the retina of oxygen-rich blood, often leading to sudden blindness in the affected eye. 2. Transient Ischemic Attack or Stroke
A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, refers to a temporary blockage in an artery that supplies the brain 9. When the blockage supplies a visual area of the brain, sudden temporary blindness can result, most commonly involving one eye. With a TIA, no permanent brain damage occurs and vision returns once blood flow to the affected area is restored. With a stroke affecting a visual area of the brain, prolonged loss of blood supply damages the involved tissue. Depending on the extent of brain damage, some restoration of vision can occur while recovering from the stroke. A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, refers to a temporary blockage in an artery that supplies the brain 9. When the blockage supplies a visual area of the brain, sudden temporary blindness can result, most commonly involving one eye. 3.
