man was forced to seek medical help after going temporarily blind every time he had sex.
The unnamed patient would lose his sight every time he climaxed during intercourse.
Bafflingly, the blindness would never occur while performing any other strenuous exercise, the NCBI ROFL blog claimed.
The original report, published by the Department of Ophthalmology at Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen, revealed the cause of the condition to be vasoconstriction, where the muscle walls contract around a blood vessel, restricting the flow of blood.
Vasoconstriction is the same condition that causes erectile dysfunction.
Doctors had earlier speculated that an embolism was causing the man’s blindness.
The report said: ‘Hypothetical mechanisms of transient monocular visual loss in our patient include vasoconstriction or embolism in the arterial blood supply of the eye.
‘The repeated and completely transient nature of our patient's symptoms supports the fact that embolism was not involved.’
The patient was eventually treated using drugs to widen his blood vessels
Caffeine is one of the cause of Vasoconstriction. It may be a slight case but when its left uncured, it will lead to total blindness.

The herbal medications that provide effective hemorrhoid treatment are also many and are gaining large popularity. Different herbs such as the Horse Chestnut and the Butcher’s Broom have long been known for their vasoconstriction effect – they can shrink the swollen blood vessels substantially which have been effectively used in Chinese medicine for centuries.
