What Is Meant By Temporary Blindness?
When I was younger I would have temporary blindness when I woke up not all the time just some times i would open my eyes in a lit room and everything was dark. I had no health issues at all. I was wondering if that is normal for a child or not? And is it heriditary(should I be concerned for my daughter)? I wouldn t be able to see until I laid down and rested a little longer until my mother got mad at me for not getting up when she told me to. Which was about 15 minutes or less.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Vision problems can be an early sign of lazy eye, torn retina, cataracts, floaters, MS. You can discuss it with your ophthalmologist to confirm your diagnosis. Hereditary depends from your diagnosis.
