10 yr old vision going foggy then black

PGB
My 10 year old son has migraine headaches.  To rule out causes before he sees a pediatric neurologist I had his eyes checked in May.  His vision was fine then.  No problems.  Now over the summer he started complaining that at a distance he sees everything going foggy.  He can't see clear for the fog, but only at a distance.  Just this morning he told me that now everything at a distance is trying to go black.  When we asked him to describe it he said everything has a black tint...he couldn't really describe it to us very well.  Said he didn't know how to describe it.  I had already made another appointment for an exam, it's Thursday afternoon which I know is only 2 days away, but I'm worried about it.  What could cause this drastic change in his vision so fast?  Is it something serious, you think?  Any info/thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry, I didn't think to clarify which appointment was Thursday afternoon. He sees an ophthalmologist on Thursday and the pediatric neurologist is next month.

If your appointment is with the pediatric neurologist then you should schedule a comprehensive medical eye examination with a eye physician (ophthalmologist or Eye MD).  Based on what you've said a diagnosis is not possible.
