Vision loss is losing your ability to see well without some sort of vision correction. Vision correction tools include eyeglasses, contact lenses, permanent artificial lenses, or surgical correction to the eye. Vision loss can happen gradually (slowly over time) or suddenly.
A transient visual loss is used to indicate loss of visual function lasting less than 24 hours. A proper history regarding timing, pattern, provoking factors, and associated symptoms can often provide a clue to the cause of the episode.[3]
