Definitely go to your optometrist ASAP. Sounds like you may have a ptosis or a lag of your eye lid. The lid can block your vision. The significance is the CAUSE of your ptosis. There are many, including muscle problems, neurological meaning nerve innervation problem or possible Bells' Palsy. All of the causes are not just nothing. The worse case senario is you may end up with just fatique, but you won't know if you don't get it checked. If you have other causes for it, you may be risking permenant lid ptosis. Treat it urgently especially if it gets worse rather than better.
I am sure it is nothing important but you need to make an appointment to see your doctor on Monday for a check. Maybe a muscle getting lazy. Have you tried to open and close your eyes like 10 times and then look into a mirror to see if your eye lid closes? Do a couple things to see if it helps or not so when you see the doc you can tell them.
