Anybody have vision problems as a result of heart issues? - Heart Disorders Message Board

Curious if anyone has any vision problems related to their heart issues? I see colors and have occasional blind spots...but have no diagnosis. I'm trying to get any/all info I can. Thanks.

Haven't had those kind of problems just because of heart. I do know some medications can effect eyes along with blood sugar problems.

Is there any dizziness or "off balance" feeling, or does it seem to occur at certain intervals or events (such as with standing suddenly, etc.)?

right after my heart ablation, i had weekly "auras" they look like half moons that roam from the left of each eye to the right. it is blurry to try to look thru them and has rainbow lights looking thru them. it takes about 45 minutes for them to completely pass. i used to get them about 3 times a year when i was younger. they were not followed by migraines and are not now even though my migraines have returned after my heart ablation and after 8 years of not having them. darn! i get the worst kind too.

I suffered from migranes with the vascular aura's since high school. When I turned 30 or so I stopped having the pain but still had the aura's maybe once or twice a year, then the week before my heart attack I noticed I was having the aura's and slight pain every day for the week prior. I can't help but think it was related to my heart. Anyone know for sure?
