Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have noticed a shadow going over the left eye. This is a symptom of a retinal detachment and you should see an eye doctor right away. I would not wait as this detachment could get worse. I recommend you call your primary care doctor and inform him about the change in your vision. He may have you seen by an ophthalmologist today or early tomorrow.
