AGreed! you must not play with your vision! Go to an ER, and explain to them that you are UN insured, and ask for Indigent care. You MUST fill out paperwork with them, and get assurances from the billing clerk that you will be provided emergent care at little or no cost. its a MUST that they allow indigent care if they accept medicaid or medicare payments.
This would be covered under your regular insurance in most cases. You need an MRI or a CT scan to see what is happening with that nerve. I hope you feel better soon.
