Transient monocular visual loss.
Transient monocular visual loss is an important clinical complaint and has a number of causes, of which the most common is retinal ischemia. A practical approach is to perform a careful examination to determine whether there are any eye abnormalities that can explain the visual loss. Despite the transient nature of the symptom, there may be clues to the diagnosis on the examination even after the visual loss has recovered.
