Brief Vision Changes
Patients diagnosed with papilledema sometimes describe having double vision, partial vision loss or blurriness. Some will experience sudden flashes of light. These changes may not be noticeable at first but can progress over the course of a few days or weeks.
What may begin as fleeting changes may begin to extend to a few minutes at a time. Without timely and effective remedies, permanent damage to an individual's eyesight can occur.
