Tunnel Vision
The sight of blood or extreme emotional distress can result in a faint. This is known as vasovagal syncope. As a prelude to fainting, a person may experience tunnel vision, so they stop being able to see things normally in their peripheral vision.
The loss of peripheral vision can occur for a variety of reasons, including migraine, glaucoma and stroke.4Russ. ‘Glaucoma, Tunnel Vision and Low Vision.’ Optometrists.org, 10 June 2021, www.optometrists.org/general-practice-optometry/guide-to-low-vision/glaucoma-tunnel-vision-and-low-vision/ In addition, tunnel vision can have an adverse effect on a person's life as it restricts their freedom of movement.
