What Causes White Outs And Dizziness?

I have had a couple of total white outs in my right eye that lasted about 15 minutes and then gradually returned to normal like a veil being lifted from the bottom. I was resting at the time and the white out was instant. No pain but I was very dizzy when I stood up but only for a for a few seconds.

Hello
It seems form the history that you had white outs and dizziness in right eye lasting for 15 minutes.
This requires further evaluation as this may indicate retinal diseases like central retinal artery occlusion or systemic diseases like transient ischemic attack or because of carotid artery occlusion..
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
