What Causes Sudden Vision Loss?
My mom loss the vision in her right eye. Her symptoms begin late last night while using her iphone. Per our conversation, she got up and noticed stars and the computer lights swarming . She placed a warm towel over her eye and went to bed and then this morning the vision in the right eye was gone. She says it s black, but then says she can see a little bit of her hand when she holds it up. Should see an emergency room doctor or wait until tomorrow? She s 68; does not take any meds. She s talking okay, but refuse to go to the emergency room. Any advice?
