What Is The Cause For Vision Loss For A Short Period Of Time?

About once a month I experience almost a full vision loss lasting 45 min-an hour. It starts off as a blurry "tunnel vision" and the only thing that seems to remedy it is laying down with eyes closed for about an hour. There is no major headache or dizziness accompanying these episodes.

Complete eye examination is to be done. Tunnel vision is sign of glaucoma. Vision field vision fundus examination IOT to be recorded.With these test and examination, diagnosis can be made. So proper treatment can be given.
