Suggest Treatment For Blanks In Field Of Vision After Head Injury

hi i am 46 years old, 20 years ago when in the army i sustained a head and neck injury after diving in a lake and hitting a submerged tree stump. I had several deep lacerations to my head and fractured C2 and C3. Ever since this i occasionaly have times when there are blanks in my field of vision (if i was looking at your face i may see your left eye but not your right,i might see your chin but not your nose) This can last up to 45 minutes, there are no headaches when this happens
