Suggest Treatment For Blind Spot In The Eye
I had glacoma, but had laser iridotomy in both eyes many years ago. Just a few moments ago, I developed a small blind spot, where the left part of any word that I m reading is just gone. I put a heated blindfold on, and every time my heart beats, my vision darkens slightly. its much worse in the left eye. What could be causing this and how urgent could this be?
