foggy vision and other symptoms

[bloohoggy]

I'm 30 years old,  this is a bit complex  please bear with me,  I have a 3.5 cm left  supraorbital bone tumor which has never effected my vision and it is benign,    I have had a constant headache x 3 years and some think its the tumor others dont know ,     there are several things i was wondering about,   occasionally  i get fog over my eyes and it gets so bad it's like the windows fogged up in a car,  but usually the fog goes away with each blink and comes right back with the next ,     that is one thing i'm wondering about,  another thing is ,  i have never been able to raise my left eyebrow fully  but the doctors don't call it a cranial nerve deficit,   and i always assumed it was because the tumor was there,    anyway,  lately i have also been having atypical chest pain and some autonomic type symptoms like nausea and lightheadedness and  nobody can figure that one out either..
I was tested for Sjogrens and Lupus 3 years ago,  my SEd rate has always been 0
I suppose alot of this info could be useless  but in case you could see a connection i wanted to tell you it all,  if not what may be causing that film over my eyes thing?    I had a normal dilated exam

I suspect the tumor could be pushing on the globe or affecting the action of the upper eyelid blink action.  Both could cause the corneal tear film to be severely dried out with resultant blurring of vision.  On another note - it is possible there is some moments of optic nerve compression causing a transient visual obsuration.  Also, increased intracranial pressure can cause a similar phenomenon.  You need a updated CT or MRI of orbits and brain to rule out compression of optic nerve, or globe or signs of elevated intracranial pressure.  And finally of course an updated complete eye exam with ophthalmologist.

Ahh, and yes, I do seem to notice more floaters than ever  in certain shades of light, however they don't bother me normally.   My left eye (the tumor side)  tends to be more foggy more often than the right eye
