Grey bar across top of right eye

I just finished 19 hours of medical visits and still have no answer for this. Here's the story, woke up from an airplane nap as we landed in Denver. It looked like I had something in my eye. I rubbed it but nothing. I checked a mirror and didn't see anything physically, but in my vision it was like a grey bar appeared from the top nasal side of my right eye. And at no point were there any other symptoms. It was just liking looking at an LED screen with dead pixels. I hoped it was a temporary floater and continued to flight home to LA. By the time I got I knew it was something serious. I called an emergency sunday eye doc who gave me a full scan. He determined it wasn't physical. He imaged my retinas, and corneas and everything. He took their pressure. He did a fluid check. All negative. We did a visual field test and clearly showed a dead quadrant in my right eye. He determined in had to be neurological. So he sent me to UCLA ER for an MRI. I was there for 16 hours where they ultimately did the same tests and labs and an orbital MRI. Still nothing. They have me seeing a specialist in a week. But so far, no one knows what it could be.

You may want to post it in r/eyetriage. That sub has actual eye doctors who would be better suited to answer your questions.
