Temporary Double/Blurred Vision

[DocVikingo]

I hate it just as much. Next time you see a malpractice or negligence attorney, you can thank them.

Glad the visual disturbance is resolved.

Be interesting to see if it recurs.

Best regards.

Rage,
Recurrent corneal errosion is the result of a prior abrasion to the cornea. The new cells do not attach themself tightly to their basement membrane(subsurface). These weak attachment allows them to pull lose even years later. Usually this occurs in the morning after the eyes have dried out over night. This allows the cells to stick to your lid and they pull lose when you open your eyes. Mechanical force can also disldge them. Tears during the day and more importantly ointment at night helps prevent reoccurances. Bandage contact lenses can help them heal up faster and more comfortably when they do occur. I would only think about surgery if ointment and tears don't work since they usually do.

TropicalDiver,
Yes, it was probably a partial blockage in the blood flow of your eye. I see numerous blockages in patients from other causes. Try to see a good eye doc if you have a repeat. Prompt treatment is important to preserve vision if the blockage becomes complete. Treatment may include hyperbaric O2.
