Detailed Answer:
hello and thanks for sending the question.

Since this is a change in your normal vision I would recommend that you make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. I think you need a good focused consultation and good physical examination of your eye by a trained professional.

The symptoms you are reporting might reflect a problem with your retina. For this reason I think you should see a specialist.

thanks again for sending your question. Please let us know if you have any additional specific concerns.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
