Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would recommend a urgent retinal examination which will have your Retina as well as optic nerve examined because these two structures are responsible for peripheral vision and we need to find out where the cause is.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
