You need to go see an ophthalmologist righ away.  multiple potential causes but if it has remained that long, you need to be checked very carefully.  Depends what your age is.  Find one at www.aao.org.  Do not delay.

I hope you have seen a neurologist for this and have also had CT scan and MRI/A of your brain as sometimes there are other causes of increased intracranial pressure (brain tumor, sinus thrombosis etc).  You may also try loosing weight as that relieves intracranial pressure as well through poorly understood mechanisms.  Good luck.
