Amaurosis fugax (Greek: fugax meaning fugitive, amaurosis meaning darkening, dark, or obscure) is a painless, temporary loss of vision in one eye caused by decreased blood flow (ischemia) to the retina. It is a type of transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The lack of blood flow can be caused by emboli (moving clots) obstructing blood flow in the retinal artery or ophthalmic artery.
