I recommend to have Googie examined by the veterinarian quickly. A sudden onset of blindness can be due to many things including Glaucoma, retinal detachment or lense luxation. These are considered emergencies since quick intervention is needed for any chance of vision longer term. Best to play it safe and have him examined today. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
