hi there,if the pain is persistent with decreased visual acquity then I think you should visit a neurophysician and get your self examined and get a CT scan done to rule out any internal bleeding. In many instances if the bleed is small it starts being symptomatic only over a period of time as the clot enlarges and so this delayed presentation with headache and visual disturbances. Do take a consultation and treatment for the same . Take care.
