See your Eye MD: Assuming that the hallucination was unrelated to illicit drugs, it may represent migraine or something much more sinister. See your eye md soon.

Don't wait: Visual hallucinations can come from a variety of sources. I suggest seeing your own primary care physician first; s/he can begin investigating and suggest additional consultations as needed, based on the results. Please don't "wait things out, " though -- be seen as soon as possible.
