What is going on??

I'll make my symptoms as clear as possible. Please give me your opinion as to what could be wrong, not "go to opthalmologist again". I had an eye injury about 3 weeks ago (elbow to eye). I went to opthalmologist who told me everything was fine. For the past week, I've had altered vision. I can see out of both eyes (i know when I cover each and look). However, I feel like I'm only looking out of my unaffected eye, as if my brain is only telling me to look through that eye. Also, when I turn my eyes to the left or right to look at my surroundings, my affected eye loses the acuity of finer letters and such (note: i'm not talking about peripheral vision. I'm talking about turning my eyes to the left and right). I went to the opthalmologist 3 times, and every 3 times they said my eye seemed fine.

Please help me. The fear of losing my vision has left me depressed and not eating for the past 2 weeks. I am crying every second, and it has affected my social life completely.

yeah. it's a weird feeling. When I'm looking out the corner of my right eye, I should be looking at things predominantly with my right eye right? Well I only see the left side of my glasses frame, not the right side. It's weird..

Just to understand better, you are saying that repeated exams by an ophthalmologist have demonstrated that both your eyes are functioning and seeing normally, but that your impression is that even so you are seeing only out of the eye that was not injured?
