Am I going blind? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!?

I went outside during the solar eclipse today. I had protective glasses on, but I only used them for a few seconds when I looked up at the sky (NOT THE SUN.. JUST THE SKY). I took them off after not being able to see anything, and kept looking at the sky without wearing the glasses. Now my eyes feel extremely dry and feel as if they re widening. I can see well, and I don t have any blurriness. Is it worth going to my doctor to get my eyes checked or will I be fine? I was only out there for a total of 5 minutes

    call doctors nurse, if you NEVER looked at the sun directly, you are probably OK, but double check that

    No, you are not going to go blind.

    Even if you go to a doctor, the doctor can't do more than tell you. If you were going blind, they couldn't fix anything anyway. But relax, you'll be fine. Your symptoms sound like nervousness.
