I strongly suggest a trip to the eye doctor.

I had a blood clot in one of the veins in my left eye once...it made
a purple haze in the center of my vision too.

It turned out to be a stroke in one vein, which bled into the retina.
(I had a horrible stress event at work that lasted hours--and my blood pressure is thought to have escaped my meds, and cause this. But it can also come from elevated homocysteine levels in the blood, which signal a need for B12, B6 and folate).

So if it is not an MS symptom, it could be what I had.

I had angiograms in both eyes, to diagnose this. It cleared up on its own, and I had my BP meds adjusted too.

So please go to the doctor ASAP and I hope it works out for you
easily. Ask for a B12 test also.... low B12 can also cause optic neuritis.
