Brief Answer:
Consult neurologist immediately

Detailed Answer:
My dear,.
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This most unusual.The reasons are either retinal, neurological or vascular.
Ask your doctor to examine the retina, hopefully he has already examined that.
Consult a neurologist immediately.
Consult a cardiologist.Preferably a place where a cardiologist and neurologist are available and co ordinating.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
Thanks
