Redout - the redness of the visual field - occurs when the body experiences a negative overload sufficient to cause a rush of blood from the lower body to the head. This is the opposite of greyout , where blood flows from the head to the lower parts of the body. Redout is potentially dangerous and can lead to retinal damage and hemorrhagic stroke . [1] The prevailing theory of redness that appears in the field of view does not see the actual flow of blood to the eye as the cause. This is most likely due to the accumulation of blood in the lower eyelid that comes into view due to the effect of negative overload. [2]
