Brief Answer:
Treatment advised is along correct lines.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your husband's clinical details. Based on this, the diagnosis is amaurosis fugax, a type of transient ischemic attack (TIA). In this condition, the blood supply to brain reduces for a short period, resulting in loss of vision. Taking Aspirin would prevent TIA and stroke in future.
Risk factors should also be assessed, which include diabetes, high BP and cholesterol. If found, they should also be treated.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

Good Morning Doctor.
Thanks for your reply.
Despite taking ecosprin sometimes loss of vision takes place for 5 to 10 minutes alternate day or in a week. Ecosprin was started from last week. Is this happens normally in a patient.
He is a banker and has 7 more years service.
He is under medication and using foll tablets for hypertension and to control of creatinine levels under supervision of nephrologist
Awaytox Nodosis Apresol Minipress Metxl
Please give suggestions for him.
Is this a curable one ?
