What Treatment Needs To Be Done For A Blotchy Ring Of Black Completely Surrounding My Visual Field After A Vitrectomy?

I had a vitrectomy two days ago, following severe hemorrhaging. The surgery was uneventful, but at the time of surgery I noticed blotchy black patches at the outside of my eye, a ring with the vision at the outer peripheral edges clear, but just inside the periphery a blotchy ring of black completely surrounding my visual field, and leaking into my central vision on one side.

At my appointment today, the doctor found that I have severe hypotony (3), and has given me drops to try to bring it up. Could this cause a black ring? He was very noncommittal, just told me we'd try to bring the pressure up to see whether it improved. I'm very concerned, as the vision in my right eye is already compromised and this is blocking out a large part of the vision in my left. Thanks so much for your help!
