Shadow top of vision in the dark

[Henry Hawthorne]

Hi all,

To cut a long story short, a group of thugs beat the st out of me at the weekend, leaving me with a lot of bruising and swelling, a v. bloody shot right eye and a fractured eye socket on the right hand side. My vision is fine, except in the dark if I look up I get a shadow in the top of my right eye's field of sight. I think this could be because my eye is a bit swollen, but I don't really have any idea so hoping somewhere here does? Do I need to go to A+E (again)?

TIA,

HH

Sorry to hear about the assault, I hope they've got the person that did it. Hope you aren't too sore and are managing to get on with things.Regarding the eye, I Would see if your local hospital has an eye casualty, I would be worried that you may have the beginnings of a detached retina. Patients normally complain of a curtain coming down across their vision, not sure why it's only in the dark though, best to get it checked.

Having had two retina detchments, which manifest themselves as shadows, and spots in your vission, my advice is an eye specilist TODAY.
