The most common type of acute angle closure glaucoma. I am not sure if this is what you had but I will assume so. In this condition, the eye pressure suddenly becomes very high. This can cause eye pain, headaches, red eyes and reduced vision. The pupil also does not function properly. Different people have different degrees of symptoms.
Depending upon the extent of pressure elevaton and its duration, there can be permanent damage to the eye. I cannot comment in your particular case. If this is angle closure, you may need a laser treatment to help prevent a future attack and also one in the fellow eye to prevent an attack in that eye.
You should discuss your case with your ophthalmologist and have him explain your condition in a detailed manner to your satisfaction.
