A TIA is a medical emergency and a serious red flag for a future stroke. If you notice these symptoms, call emergency services immediately.

4. Retinal Disorders

Issues involving the retina — such as retinal detachment or retinal vein occlusion — can also lead to:

Vision loss or blurriness in one eye
Flashes of light
Floating spots or “shadows” in your field of vision

These conditions can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly, especially retinal detachment.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Get Help

Even if symptoms appear  to resolve on their own, ignoring them could be a critical mistake.

Dr. Banga emphasizes that early diagnosis is essential to:

Pinpoint the exact cause
Begin proper treatment
Prevent complications like stroke or permanent vision loss

Final Word: Trust What Your Body Is Telling You

If you’re experiencing blurred vision in one eye along with a headache, especially if it’s sudden or severe, don’t wait it out. What seems minor could be your body’s early warning system.
