What Could be Causing Loss of Vision?

What Causes Loss Of Vision?

Loss of vision can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'serious' to 'generally fatal'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose loss of vision, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "loss of vision" as a symptom. Here are four possibilities:

Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects
Cataracts
Multiple Sclerosis
Brain Tumor

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

current exposure to solvents

severe vision disturbances

frequent unexplained vomiting

occasional involuntary eye movement

fatigue after slight exertion

excessive thirst

seizures

shortness of breath when at rest

poor bodily coordination

recent "don't care" attitude

history of muscle twitches/cramps

minor joint pain/swelling/stiffness

... and more than 40 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of loss of vision:

Cause	Probability	Status
Cataracts	94%	Confirm
Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects	15%	Unlikely
Multiple Sclerosis	1%	Ruled out
Brain Tumor	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate eye problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Has your vision become worse within the past few years? In other words, do you have greater difficulty seeing with one or both eyes, especially when the lights are dim?

Possible responses:

→ Don't know
→ No, my vision has remained about the same
→ Yes, it is slightly worse now (slow decline)
→ Yes, it is a lot worse now (rapid decline)
→ Yes, I have (almost) completely lost my sight

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate no change in vision, gradual loss of vision, rapid loss of vision or being blind or nearly blind, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects

Vision loss is a possible consequence of aspartame consumption.

Brain Tumor

Loss of vision in one or both eyes could indicate a brain tumor.

Cataracts

Multiple Sclerosis
