How long can it take for the pain to go away? It has been 2 months now. My optometrist said my retina was fine when he tested it 2 days after it happened. I can see fine but the pain is still brutal.

3 months on and I still have severe eye pain. My retina looks good though according to optometrist. Could somebody wake up blind months because you took so much sun heat?

my right eye was damaged in 2008 i was 14 it left a scotoma in a pericentral area which i want to know if there is new treatments to reverse the damage it is not a blind spot and also it is very small but still its bothers me, i gazed to the sun just 15 seconds and that scotoma apeared, i consulted many ophftalmologists and they say i don't have anything while i have a problem on my eye

After the eclipse I had eye pains and intense headaches. Vision is fine though. Left eye is worse. Little wonky. I went to optometrist 46 hours later and he looked at retina and malcula.
Looked intact. He thinks sunburn but the pain is brutal. Gave me steroid drops.
Scared still since I haven't recovered and it is Saturday.
