Can Broken Blood Vessel Cause Blackness In Eye?

Hi, my dad just seemingly suddenly in a matter of moments got blackness under half his eye. He is 58 years old and a long time smoker who has not had any serious evident health issues besides becoming over weight but not to an extreme extent. I am concerned that this is more than a broken blood vessel. What should be investigated, and could you give some potential causes?
