Black Spec - TIA

Postby kieran19685 » Fri 16 Jul 2021 10:19 am

Finally found out what the black spec in my vision has been
Caused by - it was a TIA that happened a few weeks ago where there was a blockage in one of the vessels and caused a lack of oxcguen to the eye

They think the back spot is permanent now

Tia is like a mini stroke
