This sounds most consistent with a migraine or equivalent. But since migraines are a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning you've ruled out other causes, I would suggest evaluation with an ophthalomologist first and then consultation with an internist or neurologist once you've ruled out ocular causes.

It is not feasible to provide an exact diagnosis in absence of a complete evaluation. Assuming no ocular or retinal abnormalities, might wonder about vascular problem such as a focal arterial dissection or primary cardiac issue, but the more common etiology is classical migraine aura ("ocular migraine", but would involve BOTH eyes). Evaluation by a neurologist would be next step.
