What Causes An Unusual Splitting Headache Behind Left Eye?
Last Wednesday I had an unusual splitting headache behind my left eye. Next day I had a small cloud film over a small corner of the field of vision in my right eye (low and close to nose). Next day the opaque area was larger cover about half of the lower third of the field of vision. Should I see an ophthalmologist?

Hi,
Yes with possibility of gloucoma/ retinal involvement. You must see an expert opthalmologist( retina specialist if possible. Till then you should give rest to your eyes as much as possible. Continue with any medication you are taking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
