Hello, so yesterday I suffered a headwound and it just gushed blood for 30 seconds or so until I could stop the bleeding and after I stopped it there were a few seconds where I couldn’t see anything, just like dots of light and black darting all over and then it went away and I could see normally again. Similar to static on an old TV I suppose.
What causes this?
In: Biology
Your eyes grow out of the same set of cells that eventually form the brain. Like the brain, the eyes require a great deal of blood to function
Changes in blood pressure can cause vision loss or misfires in the light sensitive cells, making you see stars until blood pressure is restored.
First off, you should go see a doctor or to an urgent care if you haven’t already. Any head wound that causes a black/grey out should be evaluated, and if it gushed blood you might need stitches. The loss of vision could be caused by damage due to blunt force trauma, or due to a lack of oxygen getting to the visual cortex of the brain. I hope you’re feeling better, and I really would advise seeing a doctor.
