MONDO:0043310Transient complete or partial monocular blindness due to retinal ischemia. This may be caused by emboli from the CAROTID ARTERY (usually in association with CAROTID STENOSIS) and other locations that enter the central RETINAL ARTERY.

Can your eyes trip you up? study watches how vision changes stepping over obstacles
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at how older adults with and without vision problems step over obstacles of different heights and colors. Researchers want to understand how vision and eye movements affect walking to help prevent falls. About 200 adults who can walk on their own will take part.
