What Causes Blurry Vision And Temporary Vision Loss In Left Eye?

MRI report is essential.
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I read your question carefully and I understand your concern. It must be unsettling to not have had an answer to your problem yet.
It seems that you have a limitation of the vision in the left side of your visual field. Even if you haven't noted it, since it has been found both at the eye clinic as well as at the hospital there is such involvement which you might have missed because it affected only your peripheral vision on the left, so it wasn't an obstacle in your everyday functioning.
Since the involvement of the eye itself has been excluded then it means it is an issue involving the part of the brain which receives and analyses the data from our eyes. So there is a suspicion of an impairment which has taken place at the right side of your brain. That would also be consistent with the paresthesia you report in your left limbs which also correspond to the right side of your brain. There's a chance your urinary incontinence is also related.
The type of lesion involved could be many things (cerebro-vascular conditions, tumor, demielinating conditions, infection etc) and since the brain is surrounded by the skull we can visualize it only by imaging tests like the MRI.
So you must understand that the MRI report is by all means required, to establish a more accurate diagnosis, further possible lab tests and treatment.
I am at your disposal for any further questions, whether now or after you provide the MRI report.


Contrast is recommended.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for getting back to me.
As long as it was only the urinary problems and the paresthesia I can understand your gp not sounding alarmed. Urinary infections are pretty common in women and paresthesias are a little subjective and not so specific a sign, meaning can have many possible explanation, often dedicated to anxiety. But if on formal eye testing there was found visual field involvement then it should be taken seriously until proven otherwise in my opinion.
As for the question on whether contrast examination is necessary I believe it is. I am not saying the non-contrast MRI would have no value, it does especially if MRA (MR angiography) is done as well, depends also on its findings, but for some diagnoses contrast provides additional information.
I hope to have been of help.
