Mine is usually a swirl of dark misty clouds with sparkly color spots floating in them, no relationship to the actual space around me.

I'm thinking, especially since you mentioned COVID, you might want to play with a fingertip #PulseOximeter. The %SpO2 reading is an obvious clue for this kind of vision fade. Some (like my $30 Innovo iP900AP) include a Pi% reading which seems independent:

"Perfusion Index or PI is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow
to the non-pulsatile static blood flow in a patient’s peripheral
tissue such as in a fingertip, toe, or ear lobe. Perfusion index
is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The
PI’s values range from 0.02% for very weak pulse to 20% for
extremely strong pulse. The perfusion index varies depending
on patients, physiological conditions, and monitoring sites.
Because of this variability, each patient should establish his own
“normal” perfusion index for a given location and use this for
monitoring purposes."
