What Causes Blurred Peripheral Vision In Left Eye?
Question: I am experiencing blurred peripheral vision in my left eye for the last 1/2 hour. What is this?
Brief Answer:
Could be TIA.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and the most likely diagnosis is a TIA- transient ischemic attack.
In this condition, the blood supply to a part of brain is diminished for a short period of time (lasting a few hours, not more than 24 hours), resulting in various neurological symptoms. A reduction is blood supply to occipital lobe of brain can result in blurred peripheral vision on one side.
It may be useful to see a doctor/neurologist for confirmation of diagnosis. Aspirin tablets and control of risk factors (such as diabetes, BP, cholesterol if any, would help).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
