Temporary blindness
I experienced temporary blindness yesterday. I was drinking really late night and experienced it for around 5 seconds and was back to normal. It wasn't completely dark but was almost dark. I drink occasionally (2-3 times a month). In office it has been long working hours and improper sleeping and eating habits for the last few weeks. I haven't had any previous conditions or I am not under any medication. I want to know if this was just because of the stress I have put on my eyes in the last few weeks and because of drinking.

At age 23 yrs this type of complaints are very uncommon,, consult good physician for proper guidance, very difficult to predict from your short history. Hypertension & blood abnormalities may be the reason.

Mostly it is due to stress and not taking rest properly. But as u said your eating habits and all are not good you should go for complete blood count (CBC) and cholesterol level also.
