What Causes The Sudden Onset Of Blurred Vision And Confusion?

I ve had three bouts in the last month, of just a sudden onset of blurred vision, and some confusion. Once just sitting at a counter, one just standing talking to a group of people and once just eating an ice cream cone with my husband. It s a bit unnerving, and I m not sure why? Help, I m 66 yrs old female

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, symptoms you describe may indicate transient ischemic attack. I think you should get evaluated by your Neurologist for these symptoms, because in a number of cases, transient ischemic attack may herald a stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
