Brief Answer:
Hemianopsia, see opthalmologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
The condition that you have described here is known as Hemianopsia .
It is difficult say what might be responsible for this. But initially we have to confirm it. For this I would suggest you to see opthalmologist to the earliest.
Opthalmologist will detect Hemianopsia by a visual field test. If part of a patient’s visual field is impaired, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is most often suggested. Treatment addresses the condition causing hemianopsia.
So I would suggest you to see opthalmologist for examination and further help
Hope this helps
Take care
