They often come hand in hand, yes! Anemia can often cause low blood pressure, which is a factor. I have the same. Easy tips that I find helpful.
iron supplements. I personally try to eat iron rich foods, but when I'm not getting enough, I have supplements as well. I recommend looking for ones that are low-dose/easy on your digestion, because otherwise iron supplements may cause constipation.
drink more water! I find the vision failure happens more often when I haven't had very much water.
if lying down, try to sit up for a moment before standing, instead of just jumping to your feet.
if dizziness comes along with the lack of vision, don't push through it, stop and sit back down... Even on the floor. Fainting because you were trying to "power through it" is embarrassing, stupid, and needlessly risky. Just give yourself a moment.
