Have you told your onc about the vision loss? He might suggest an MRI. You are asking if I would ask for an MRI? I can tell you that I reported on head-aches to my onc about a month ago. Her take was to use anti allergy med's to see if that cleared the headaches. If not, she would order an MRI. So...I would assume if I told her I had vision loss in one eye she would order an MRI and I would not have to request. Consider though I'm new to this and don't have as many miles behind me as you have. In your shoes, yes...I would ask for an MRI.
