It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with small vessel disease.
Many diseases in the eye are because of small vessel diseases. Since the condition is diagnosed by your neuroophthalmogist this can be a problem involving the optic nerve like ischemic optic neuropathy.
Hence to answer your questions more accurately I need the probable diagnosis as told by your doctors and the investigations reports if any.
Coming to your questions since you are able to see in natural sunlight and having difficulty in seeing in artificial light the night vision goggles will help.
