This has happened about 2 other times. Im using the computer and I get up and I can't see the bottom left part of whatever I'm looking at. It also comes with a headache. When this has happened previously, it goes away after about 2-3 hours. It's really annoying! What causes this and is there any way I can stop it?

Answer:

This is possibly a form or symptom of a migraine. I have had similar episodes where areas of my vision are blurred by a strange, wavy blob (I know that sounds weird but that's the best way I can describe it) which takes a while to clear up. After checking with my doctor, he determined that this vision problem is a symptom of a migraine but I was lucky enough not to get the associated headache.

Basically, not much you can do to prevent it except avoid stress (if you find a way to do that, please let me know!). When it does happen, rest is the only way I found to overcome it.

Definitely, check with your doctor.

with and without the headache these can both be migraines. You don't always get pain with one.

I think I would be calling the doctor. Impaired vision can be a sign of migraine or a stroke. Or it could be fatigued eyes. without seeing you and examining you, we can not give you anything but our best guesses from our own experiences... So really call a doc
