Brief Answer:
Urgent ophthalmological evaluation needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You urgently need to visit an ophthalmologist in order to get yourself evaluated. There are a number of ominous causes like retinal problems, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis etc. which could be the underlying cause. The cause needs to be determined and treated at the earliest. Treatment will depend on the underlying condition.

I would insist you not to ignore the condition.

Let me know if I could help further.
