It can be caused by a head injury, but it can also be caused by uncontrolled high blood pressure. Also, if he has had a bad cough or something like that that would cause increased pressure can cause it too. It may resolve on its own, but it can also cause blindness in the affected eye... Only time will tell- good luck.
