One eye sees differently and poorly, objective tests show nothing. What could it be?

Posted , 4 users are following.

The vision in my right eye has been shiny for 7 months. Everything that is somewhat lit seems brighter, all darks and all colours look washed out. Contours of things are clear, but the inside of contours is a mess - a face looks more like Barbie or Ken than human, meaning, i see only a few distinct tones of a colour. All reds are closer to orange. How many tones of a colour I can distinguish depends on the blood pressure - in sauna when BP is low i see max 2 tones of a colour, when i'm rest and feeling fine, bp is normal, i see max 4 tones, while the left can always distinguish many more. 

When I close the right eye, there are tiny light blobs dancing around the vision field until they fade away after 45 seconds. When i look to the lower left corner, eyes closed, upper right corner has a red or white light flashing.

MRI, MRA, MRI +Gd, Retinal MRA and about 10 different eye examination tests showed the eye was healthy and that the visual nerve was healthy too, also that the retina was healthy. Visual field test showed some loss of sight in some spots; the test that measures with electrodes how fast the image reaches the brain showed there was some delay.

Doctors couldn't help, Google hasn't helped either. What could it be?

    Thank your stars when all thge tests are clear and Drs have declared your eyes healthy. There may be a need to wait and watch. God forbids if further problem then get to the Docs again. In case of eyes, one really gets worried. May God Almighty keep you well.

    To be honest I kind of have the same situation with my eye dr. Around five mounths ago I've been noticing a large dark circle in the center of left eye vision. The circle takes up a third or more of my vision. When I close my eyes I see its negative (white) I can see it like a white mirior. At first I thought it was from staring at something too long, but this happens now every morning when I wake up or siting up from lying position. I thought about it and realised that I've been seeing it a lot lately. So I went yo opthimologyst and explain what happens with my left eye every morning and everything that I sit up from lying position. She did detailed eye exam took picture from inside of my eyes and dilated my eyes as well then she told me that my eyes are normal. She couldn't tell me why I do see this big dark mirror like shadow each in the left eye but she didn't seem that concern to refer me to specialist as well. But this is worrying me that what if she was wrong. I should add this as well that i do have left side severe muscle tension for years now that recently it gets worse. So each time that the tension get worse it radiates to my neck and the scull specially on the left side. It also radiated to the inner side of my left ear and goes deep into the left eye. So my eye gets itchy, painful, burning and then I see the black shadow upon sitting up as well. So this is confusing to me beacuse I don't know if this is all related to the muscular tennsion or a nerve that is pinched or the small blood vessel that become block due to the tension. It's scary beacuse I don't know if this problem can cause the perminat blindness.
