Hi,
Have you gotten a CT scan or MRI done of the area. If it affects your vision then, it has to be inside your brain. That part is confusing though because you wont be able to feel the lump if it is inside. Anyway to be sure, you might like to get a second opinion and get that doctor to do a CT scan. I hope this will help you get rid of the problem.

Hey,
This seems a serious concern. You need to consult a neurosurgeon for this. You definitely require a CT/MRI of the brain.
Please consult one before it is too late.
