Hi! I'm 28yo, female, Asian, 1.63m and 70 kg (154 lbs). I don't take any medications and does not have any known illness. I just stopped smoking and drinking a month ago. English is not my first language, I'm sorry if it's not grammatically correct.
So, there have already been three consecutive episodes (3 months) where I lost my vision in my left eye. It gradually goes black (sometimes gray) until I lost about 95% of my left eye's vision. I gain back my vision after a minute or so. And on those three episodes, I am not doing any strenuous activity, no headaches or any pain felt before and after.
I went to my opthalmologist the first time it occured, the diagnosis was Amaurosis Fugax. Eye tests came out good. My eyes are good except only for a slight astigmatism but I don't need any glasses for it and it doesn't bother me at all. So my doctor told me to come back if it happens again.
But I didn't went back yet because I think it isn't a cause of alarm. It worried me though after the third episode, so here I am asking if it should be a cause of alarm, and if I should do another test, or what specific doctor should I go to.
BTW, every time it happens, I get unusually sleepy and tired the day before. Also, it happens days before my menstruation. So, I'm thinking it might be a hormonal thing.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read. All responses are greatly appreciated! 😊
