Feels like only one eye is being used??

I am overly paranoid right now thinking I'm gonna go blind at the age of 19. I can't eat at all and have lost appetite cuz of how scared i am. Please help me out. I got hit with an elbow 2 weeks ago, and had symptoms of retinal detachment temporarily. I went to the opthalmologist and he ruled out retinal tear or detachment, and optic nerve damage. However, right now I feel something that is hard to describe. It feels like only my left eye is doing the seeing although when i cover my left eye (unaffected eye) to check that my right eye is seeing, it is seeing. Still, it always feels like only my unaffected eye is focusing on things and it gets tired, while my right eye does not get tired. What is going on? I went for a second visit yesterday, and the opthalmologist said it seems fine again.
