Brief Answer:
Contrast enhanced MRI needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I read carefully your past conversations too.
In my opinion a contrast enhanced MRI of your brain is indispensable in this moment in order to be shure that there is or is not a brain lesion causing your concerns.
Another thing to do is to have a second opinion and second clinical examination from a different Neurologist and Ophthalmologist.
I agree that visual field deficit needs an answer because it may correlate with brain lesions affecting visual pathways too.
Hope this helps. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
