Loss of visibilty from anxiety??

I want to say that this has not happened to me in a while. 

When i was 16 i completely lost my vision(my eyew were open but everything was black) but i was also 16 and doing stupid things like drinking and stuff, so i didnt think anything of it. 

There has been a couple times in the past where ive got sudden loss of visability with dizziness for a couple seconds. My vision just goes dark and i get very dizzy. It only lasts for a few seconds. I usually close my eyes and it comes back. I am not sure if this is tunnel vision but it is a bit worrisome to me. This actually has not happened to me in a long time.  The best way i can describe it is coming into a dark room from being outside in the sun. 

The only reason i am bringing this uo is bc another person i had spoke to said they had the same issue. They suddenly loss their vision for 7 minutes. This happened to them while they were experiencing hightened anxiety and panic. 

Ive been checked out by my dr and optomitrist. All is fine. 

Can this be a result if anxiety?
