Content: What if you could prevent the impending rainstorm as soon as you saw the lightening? Impossible, right? However, transient monocular blindness, like the lightening, is a harbinger of the major disease - stroke. And what’s better, if you act in time, the stroke is not always inevitable. What is Transient Monocular Blindness? Transient Monocular Blindness, also called as Amaurosis Fugax is a condition in which there is abrupt loss of vision in one of your eyes due to a temporary lack of blood supply to your retina (light sensitive layer in your eye). What causes Transient Monocular Blindness? Transient Monocular Visual Loss is mainly caused by lack of blood supply. This may be due to: • Blocking of the artery supplying your brain (called carotid artery) or eyes (called ophthalmic artery) due to a blood clot or fatty substance (called plaque).
