    Transient visual loss in three patients was linked to narrow-angle glaucoma, not neurological issues. Early glaucoma diagnosis is crucial for preventing misdiagnosis of vision problems.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Transient monocular visual loss (TMVL) can be misdiagnosed.
    • Narrow-angle glaucoma (NAG) is a potential cause of TMVL.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with recurrent TMVL.
    • Previous diagnoses attributed TMVL to neurological conditions.

    Findings:

    • Subacute attacks of NAG were identified as the cause of TMVL in all three patients.
    • The visual loss was transient, resolving between attacks.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering ophthalmological causes, specifically NAG, in cases of unexplained TMVL.
    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive eye examinations to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment for glaucoma.
