Brief Answer:
Provide more details and get examined by a neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and Mri images and reports.
You are having history of migraine headache and for some time it has become continous.
Visual blurring or aura may occur in migraine headache too but is episodic and not constant.
Other possibility may be idiopathic intracranial hypertension which presents with headache and progressive visual loss.
The fundus examination shows papilloedema.
The management of both diseases are different.
Your Mri is normal except some slow flow in superior sagittal sinus which may be normal too.
Is there any nausea, vomiting, fever, response to pain killers, anxiety, sleep disturbances?
You should go to a neurologist for detailed examination and investigation accordingly.
You may require fundus examination and csf manometery.
For migraine you can try amitryptiline, Flunarizine, propranolol or divalproate.
Provide more details.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
