Amaurosis fugax?: Decreased blood flow in the distribution of the ophthalmic artery can cause the described event, but this could also be due to classical migraine, and may be difficult to sort out based on just the sequence. Since this could be due to narrowing of the left carotid artery, or even a distal blood clot, recommend getting an evaluation by neurologist asap. Your vision may be at risk.

Get to an Eye MD: Your symptoms can be from migraine headache, but there may be a more serious condition. Amaurosis fugax, or fleeting blindness can occur when an embolus lodges in your retina. It may also occur with ischemia due to decreased blood flow from your carotid artery. There are vasculitis diseases that can also cause these symptoms. Go to an ophthalmologist (eye md) right away.
