Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you had an episode of blurred vision following an injection of novacaine for dental filling.
Thus indicates an episode of vasovagal syncope.
Since you have recovered from it no need to worry, it will not cause any problems.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Do write back yo me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
