Thank you so much doctor - that pretty much confirms that it was an ocular migraine. I wasn't sure.
No, you cannot see anything happening in the eye physically during an ocualar migraine. The ocular migraine, typically really has nothing to do with blood flow to the eye but rather a spasm of blood flow in the visual areas of the brain. Thus nothing to see from the ophthalmologist's perspective during the episode.

I should also add it resolved itself in 24 hours
