What Causes Intermittent Blurred Vision And Floaters In The Eyes Followed By Fatigue For Over Two Years?
Question: During the past three years , about twice a year I will get a brief period of blurred vision that starts in one eye , slowing moving to both , and than fading away , lasting approximately 15min . I can still see through this period but my vision appears glassy or blurred . I do have floaters in my eyes , but this is totally different . I am usually quite tired when this occurs . Lately I have had three of these episodes in as many weeks , therefore raising my concern .
Brief Answer:
Migraines very probably, other causes to be excluded first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Conditions to consider in your case are a retinal migraine, the aura of a migraine.
To confirm migraines is necessary first to rule out any eye disease or vascular causes such carotid artery disease, hypercoagulability, etc.
Carotid arteries and brain imaging such MRI and blood tests such sedimentation rate, complete blood panel may be necessary as well as an evaluation by an Ophthalmologist.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
