Some emergency points :-

• Place him on the flat surface with slightly elevated head and shoulder as well.
• Avoid moving him unnecessarily.especially avoid to move his head.
• As he has confused and blurred vision that shows a emergency condition so immediately need to call ambulance and avoid more risk.
