Your injury sounds similar to mine in the respect that I had no symptoms until the next day and didn't connect it to the head bump at first.

It's great that you aren't having really severe symptoms. I would hope that could indicate that if you take some time off to really REST that you could recover completely. I agree that the visual and mental strain are probably prolonging whatever damage you have.

If you can arrange to take a couple weeks of sick leave and really rest, get good nutrition, and get your vision evaluated, I think it would be very helpful to alleviating the symptoms you are still experiencing.
