Content: Retinitis Pigmentosa
This genetic condition damages the retina and usually impacts teenagers and young adults but can affect people at any age. Night blindness is usually the first symptom, but it may progress to an inability to distinguish colors, then to peripheral vision loss. What causes temporary peripheral vision loss? There can be a wide variety of causes, from health conditions and emotional stress, to retinal pressure. Here are a few known causes, preventive actions and treatments for temporary loss of peripheral vision. Ocular migraine
If you are a migraine sufferer, you may have experienced a migraine that was severe enough to cause peripheral loss of vision in one eye, either with or following a migraine headache. According to WebMD, the causes of an ocular migraine aren’t known, but some experts theorize they’re caused by: Spasms in the blood vessels of the retina
Changes to the nerve cells that spread across the retina
Ocular migraines usually go away on their own within 60 minutes, so they are not treated – and there’s no known preventive treatment for them. Vasovagal syncope syndrome
A primary symptom of vasovagal syncope, a syndrome characterized by a drop in blood pressure that leads to fainting, is temporary peripheral vision loss. Other symptoms include pale skin, dizziness and blurred vision.
