Go to eye Dr. ASAP: Anytime there's a curtain or veil blocking your view out, then you have to be seen by an eye doctor to check that your retina is attached, and that you don't have eye inflammation, or other causes that could cause this to happen, that if you let it go, could be irreversible. So, don't delay, and they will diagnose you precisely once you are seen and have a dilated fundoscopic exam done.
