Answer: yes

Sudden blindness (total or near-total vision loss) in one eye is a medical emergency. In many instances, you have a short window of time for diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent blindness. Temporary loss of vision may also be a warning sign of a serious problem, such as stroke

Explanation:

According to Scientific American.org, "Consider the case of a man known as GY. Damage to his visual cortex resulted in complete blindness in one half of the visual field. He could not consciously see anything, not even a spot of light, shown to him in that region. Yet when asked to reach out and touch the spot, he could do so accurately; he could touch a spot he couldn’t see! It seems downright spooky, but, as you will soon learn, we can explain—at least partially—his condition, known as blindsight, in terms of the multiple specialized anatomical pathways devoted to vision that we mentioned earlier. [For more on blindsight, see 'Subconscious Sight,' by Susana Martinez-Conde; Scientific American Mind, April/May 2008.]"

Yes, because the occipital lobe controls vision, not the eyes. So, the eyes can have no problems and a person can be blind if they have serious damage to their occipital lobe.

<h3>What is the respiratory system of a human?</h3>

The respiratory system in your body is the network of cells and organs that helps you breathe. The components of it include your lungs, arteries, and airways. The muscles in your lungs are part of your respiratory system. These components work together to eliminate significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the body while circulating oxygen throughout it.

<h3>Why is breathing so important?</h3>

Oxygen is necessary for all of the cells in your body to survive. Gases, including oxygen, are present in the air that we breathe. The basic purpose of a respiratory system is to move clean air into the body while exhaling waste gases. Your body uses the bloodstream to carry oxygen once it leaves your lungs and enters it.
