Hello
It seems from the history that you are having optic nerve compression in right eye following an accident.
This is called as traumatic optic neuropathy and treatment as to be started at the earliest preferably within 8-24 hours following injury.
The first thing to be considered is investigations like CT SCAN, to look for the exact pathology. If it is because of edema caused by injury, it can be treated by use of steroid and antiinflammatory drugs. If it is direct injury to the optic nerve no further treatment is available.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
