Hello,

If tese blackouts are not posture related( postural hypotension can cause lackouts) then do get your general check up done along with a cardiovascular work up. Sometimes reduced blood supply to the eyes can cause such loss of vision (amarausis fugax). You might require a detailed dilated eye exam, carotid doppler , ECHO and MRI brain if required.

Regards
