    Nope.

    Vision loss is irreversable.*

    Welcome to hell, kid.

    *Although many nerve 'fall asleep' like your foot under lack-of-circulation... once the nerves die -like braincells- they tend to stay dead.

    KEEP REALLY CLOSE TABS ON THOSE MIGRANES.

    The other explanation is you're having a stroke.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    The sad truth is, glaucoma is stigmatized as an 'old-person disease', causing many early symptoms in adolescents to be ignored, or dismissed until they become welfare-dependents.

    So yeah. Think of it as 'could this migrane be a stroke/glaucoma' next time. It could mean the difference between your life depending on the loyalty of some mutt or not.

    Now you know why strokes are 'the silent killer'.

    Okay so one day I also passed out seemingly out of nowhere. Could this have something to do with that?

    I don't mean to be extremely negative but it's possible that some kind of tissue is pressing down on your eyes, or just being there is creating too much pressure inside your skull.

    Oh, right. Can't forget about cancer.

    Eye cancer sucks.

    Then the HAVE to scoop your eyes out.

    Not likely.

    And despite the white shirt my avatar is wearing, I'm not a doctor.

    Go ask a doctor.

    Prefferably one that knows your full medical history.

    Either way, you should go see a doctor. Whatever it is, can't be good news. Take care of yourself man.

    I would see a doctor if I believed that they would do anything about it. Unfortunately when I passed out that day, (even though I have a family history of strokes), the doctor said it was completely normal for a teenager to pass out once or twice a year, and I've had eye exams yearly for 6 years now with the doctors only even mentioning glaucoma the last time I went.

    Yeah, and as I hinted at, doctors really don't have any secret-society where they discuss every one of your pubic-hairs behind closed-doors.

    In fact, you'd be lucky if all of them even know you've seen other doctors, and their names.

    Next eye exam, puff-test. If you score over 23 (ask them), get worried.

    I will, and thanks for the helpful info.

    I would've never even considered these headaches not being migraines before.
