Help for Central Scotomas
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, the eye specialist can make recommendations for medical treatment. However, in spite of treatment central scotomas may not go away. Learning to adapt to this vision loss will help you maximize the vision you do have.

How long can a scotoma last?

Most scintillating scotomas are temporary and last anywhere from a few seconds to up to 30 minutes.

Can scotoma be permanent?

A scotoma is a blind spot in your vision. It can be temporary or permanent, and it may stay in the same place or move around in your vision. The spot may be in the center, or it may be around the edges of your vision.
