  Temporary blindness is also known as fleeting blindness. The causes of it cover a large varieties, from bright light flashed to some severe medical conditions. Flash blindness is the most common thing that most people might experience. Just like taking photos, every time after the flashed I feel I can't see anything because the pigment in retina is over saturated or bleached. It usually last for only few seconds. If it is related to some medical conditions, such as heart andy cardiovascular system problem, fluids built up in the brain and psycological problem. It is hard to tell how long it will last. I can only say that it last for finite period. You should find out the underlying cause and then take treatment. If the underlying cause is fixed, then your vision problem will go off.
