One eye vision loss can be a very frightening thing.
The fear and powerlessness you feel may very dangerous and traumatic depending on what you are doing at the time.
This is caused by what are called silent migraine.
The temporary vision loss may be accompanied by a pain (headache).
Silent migraine happens when there is a sudden blood vessels tightening which causes problems with the eye blood flow.
This migraine type is usually painless and harmless.
It doesn't cause permanent brain or eye damage.
The silent migraine which most people suffer from come with warning signs set called migraine auras.
These will distort the both eyes' vision and come with other symptoms such as headache, shimmering spots, blind spots and flashes of light.
Eye migraines are a trigger of the neurological system.
Something like medications, chemicals in food, lights or hormonal changes may cause the body to react.
During this migraine, things happen, which affect the flow of the blood to the brain vision area.
This often when the silent migraine take place.
If you are doing something, which might create issues with the eyesight loss, then stop.
If you are driving, pull over the road side until your vision returns.
Even though eye migraine is harmless, sometimes a visit to your physician may give you some tips on how to prevent and treat this migraine in the first place, however, sometimes this type isn't easily treated because of the processes that trigger this migraine aren't understood.
The vision loss that comes with eye migraine isn't related to the eyes directly.
Instead, the signs affecting your eye occur due to the pressure of the migraine in the brain visual cortex which located in the skull back.
Still, consulting the doctor whenever you have vision problems is important as you can deal with another visual condition unrelated to a silent migraine.
While eye migraine isn't as serious as some migraine forms, they may still be a frightening experience.
