Neurological or something else?

[Heikuu]

If something neurological was causing my eye symptoms would an ophthalmologist detect and be able to tell this? I've had mri, i've been to two ophthalmologist noone couldn't find anything wrong.

My symptoms are:

Faded colors

Difficulty seeing in dark

Static

Dim vision, as if someone has lowered the surrounding environment brightness

Sometimes an ophthalmologist can tell there is a neurological problem, like if the optic nerve is swollen (papilledema)  or one of the muscles that move the eye are not working (ophthalmoplegia) but in many cases it is possible to have a neurological problem and normal eye exam (small stroke).  If you have access to a neuro-ophthalmologist that would be the next step. Some of the tests you might need: color vision testing, macular and optic nerve OCT,  peripheral vision testing,   down the line ERG and VER and EEG

Thank you. I'm unable to see a neuro-ophthalmologist, but I just had an oct scan and peripheral vision tests, waiting for the results... My symptoms seem to get worse when i eat chocolate, what could be the reason other than diabetes?
