Loss of vision can be congenital or can occur in later periods. Making a statement during the White Cane Visually Impaired Week, Dr. Semih Doğan, an Ophthalmologist from Istanbul Gelisim University, stated that sudden vision loss can cause serious problems when treated late. Dr. Doğan said: “Sudden vision loss is a medical emergency. Stenosis or blockage in one of the vessels leading to the eye or the visual center of the brain may be a sign of sudden vision loss. It should be seen by the ophthalmologist within a few hours. Sometimes it may be due to diseases that cause conduction disorders in the eye nerves, not in the vessels.”
