Vision Problem - Iris Contracting

Any time you have an eye problem such as you describe, you should
*RUN* - don't walk - to your nearest opthamologist. Don't settle for
anything less - general practitioner or optometrist. Get an
opthamologist. They need to look in the eye and carefully examine the
perimeter of the retina, as well as the obvious tests for glaucoma and
macular degeneration. A detached retina, if not treated in time, can
progress to blindness in the eye. We're talking about the treatment
occuring in as few *days* as possible.

You need an emergency eye exam. Your sight might be in jeopardy from a
retinal detachment. It can be fixed, if you get it looked at in time.
