I cannot tell you what to do on the internet.
Ritalin will increase your blood pressure...this in turn can be reflected in the eye, which the doctor can see as changes in artery and vein size. High blood pressure starves the retina, reducing blood flow there. Over time, the retina changes, and it might cause a higher cell turn over, as cells die from this lowered blood flow.
So yes, it could be a factor, a warning sign that you are not really tolerating the drug well physiologically. An eye doctor can see this effect. So I favor your seeing a doctor, and do so when you have the drug in your system...so any reduced blood flow will be visible then.
Damage to your retina is a serious thing.
