IMO, something serious enough to warrant immediate medical attention.
This
could
have been a
TIA
—more specifically
amaurosis fugax
Quote:
A special type of TIA is amaurosis fugax. Transient blindness in one eye occurs because debris from a narrowed carotid artery clogs the artery (ophthalmic artery) that supplies blood to the back of the eye.

It could also have been something else.
If it were me, I would have gone to the ER
immediately
