More Strange Symptoms - Green/Blue Circles in Field of Vision

So I've learned to live with the symptoms I had recently (last question posted here - http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Eye-Care/Strange-Ring-of-Light-Orb-When-Waking-Up/show/2143417?camp=watch_list), mostly because it only occurred right when I woke up, and the several doctors I went to didn't find anything wrong with my eyes.

But this morning I had a new symptom that was unsettling, and occurred an hour after I'd woken up, and my eyes didn't feel dry and irritated as they normally do when I experience these symptoms.

So I was in a brightly lit room and didn't notice anything, and then when I went into another room that was much darker, I suddenly noticed I couldn't see so clearly in my lower field of vision.  It was all bluish, like when you go from light to dark and you can't see clearly for a second while your eyes adjust.  But it was only the bottom of my visual field, and it wasn't going away.  When I closed my eyes, I could see two green/blue orbs or circles of color on the bottom, and when I blinked quickly I could see the circles flashing brightly.  It was similar to the lingering light you see when a flash goes off, but it didn't go away for like ten minutes, and I hadn't been exposed to a bright light beforehand.

I'm anxious about this, as I feel like I keep getting new symptoms, even though the doctors assure me nothing is wrong.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.  I did have a visual field test, and everything was normal.
Yes, I agree it's a similar phenomenon.  Just seemed different, because it occurred a while after I'd been awake, and my eyes weren't irritated as they usually are when I have these symptoms.

This sounds similar to the orbs. Even though you are seeing something new, it still sounds similar. If you haven't had a visual field, then you need a field of vision test to document normalcy or an abnormality.
