| Temporary
blindness, in one eye, which usually lasts less than one minute.
It is often described as a graying of vision. The concern is
that this may represent an ischemic event (low blood flow) to the
central retinal artery (which supplies the retina of the eye), and
may be caused by a small plaque which has broken off from the carotid
artery. This is actually a "mini stroke" of the eye. |
