Content: Bleeding into the vitreous, or a vitreous hemorrhage, constitutes a leading cause of transient blindness in one eye. This condition can occur for a variety of reasons, including underlying diabetic eye disease, sickle cell disease and a forceful blow to the eye. 2. Detached Retina
With a detached retina, the retinal tissue pulls away from the back of the eyeball. Initial symptoms typically include seeing floaters and flashes of light. With extensive detachments, people often experience a gray curtain or cloud coming into their field of vision. Common causes of a detached retina include a blow to the eye and diabetic eye disease.
