Consult your Doc: Please see an ophthalmologist. It could be a migraine or some kind of vascular event. Your are young it is less likely a pre- stroke. If you are in good health it could be a vascular spasm. Please consult for a full eye exam with an ophthalmologist. If you have any other health issue you need to see your doctor too.

Vision loss: It could be a migrainous visual disturbance. You should have your eyes checked to determine if there is a problem in the eye.
