10 Eye Care Warning Signs You Should Be Aware of

Blind Spots

Blind spots (or scotoma) appear as dark areas around the centre of the vision, although peripheral areas may be included in some cases. Some people experience blind spots in form of fleeting light flashes that may present with headaches, or even persist over time. Blind spots in your vision say that you should check for the presence of more serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, tumor, or multiple sclerosis. It may occur as a result of stroke or trauma.
