What Causes Vision Problem After Seeing Solar Eclipse?
Hi, I watched the solar eclipse on may 22 (Japan). And then after 3 days, my eyes started to get hurt, watery, I feel like I have sand in my eyes, my eyes hurt if I see bright light from the sun. My question is: is this because from watching the eclipse without using the special eye glasses for protection?

By seeing eclipse in naked eye you may get maccular burn. It may effect acuity of vision. Take rest and use refresh tear eye drop. Never do it in future
