I accidentally directly flashed myself with a super bright flashlight 6-8 inches from my right eye for about a second. Right afterwards, I saw large pink spot for awhile, and a white round spot when I close my eye. Seems to be dissipating slowly but I also can see a "transparent dark spot" if the eye is open and focused just right.
When I was a kid, I flashed myself in the eye up close with a 35mm camera and saw a pink square for days that turned to green and then finally to a small black square that "on occasion" I can still see to this day as a tiny floater if I focus just right. Praying this time will heal, and not be a worse version of that past incident. I am temporarily am trying to rest my eye of bright lights for the rest of the night.
Thanks in advance for any advice, info or shared experiences even if you are not a doctor who replies.
