📖What is Sudden Vision Loss?

A rapid, often dramatic decrease or complete loss of vision in one or both eyes, occurring over seconds to hours. This is always considered a medical emergency because several of its causes involve blockage of blood flow to the eye or brain and can result in permanent vision loss if not treated immediately.
