Vision Blackout

So I already have pretty weird vision(diplopia) and I even have prism lenses. But, over the course of a year, I've had blackouts. I will simply be walking or doing my usual thing when everything would suddenly go black for a good ten seconds. I know I don't blink or close my eyes. I don't get dizzy, I don't spend a lot of time on the computer, and I'm pretty healthy. What's going on?

If you're waiting for someone to tell you that you really need to get this checked out by a doctor, then consider yourself told. If you're not dizzy or drunk, blacking out for ten seconds at a time is not something to ignore. You probably know that diplopia can be caused by a disorder of the nerves. If you're optic nerve is shutting down you really need to get this checked out by doctors. Good luck. And don't drive.

Also, the prisms don't work that well.
