Second opinion

on fri 5/21/10 i was punched in the face and my left eye swelled up. i lost all vision in the left eye until the next morning. at that time i got vision back only in the right side of my left eye but its very blurry. there has been alot of pressure in the left side of my face and when the pressure gets worse, my vision is blurrier. i have been to numerous eye drs in the past week and undergone many tests without succes in finding out exactly why i lost vision. my left eye is currently 20/70 according to severals eye tests just yesterday. I told the drs i have had this pressure constantly and when the pressure gets worse the vision is blurrier but the pressure does not go away at all. i have trouble sleeping at night due to this and the drs keep telling me there is no way they pressure is what is affecting my vision. im not a dr but i dont understand why when the pressure gets worse the vision gets worse. Please tell me what to do cause i really do not want to be blind permanantly like i have been told is most likely what is going to happen.
