Depends: A common source of such phenomena is alterations in the health and architecture of the macula, the area of central sharp vision. This can last a long time. Temporary changes can occur due to migraines and vascular changes. There are many other causes so if this is occurring, see your ophthalmologist for diagnosis.

Retinal issue: Your description is most consistent with a retinal problem. You need to see any eye doctor as soon as possible. This could be a sign of diabetic changes, macular degeneration, etc.
