Why Do I See A Field Of Green In My Vision After Coming In From Bright Sunlight ?

i went out into the sun and when i came back in i was so close to being blind, i had a field of green in my vision and i could only see shapes of images in front of me, this lasted for about three minutes, then it was gone, it scared me because that has never happened before.

Thank you for choosing health care magic. Your condition could be a sign of impending stroke. It could be due to temporary lack of blood flow to retina. Reason for this condition could be a block in carotid artery in form of plaque( fat,cholesterol). I advise you to see either a neurophysician or a vascular surgeon to have a complete check up. By early intervention you can prevent more complicated conditions like stroke.
