Vision Brighter after eclipse?

Since the eclipse last Monday 8/21/2017 I didn't notice a change in my vision until Friday 8/25/2017. My left eye seems normal, but my right eye seems like I see things a little brighter and is sensitive to light. It's been pretty weird getting used to it. I don't know if this is solar retinopathy. I wonder how long this vision change may last. I don't smoke, I exercise, I have now started eating carrots, kale and drinking 3 cups of water a day. I have started a veggie diet to try and improve recovery. I go to my doctor on Friday 9/1 so I will let him know everything but I wanted to get thoughts on this.

Update:

Also in the morning my eye still sometimes hurts. I don't know if that is because its still in the process of healing or recoverying.

    You most likely have a solar polyp behind your right eye. During the eclipse faint gamma rays are released from the sun and travel to earth. Those with a distinct genetic code experience slight DNA alterations that usually present themselves as polyps in different places on the body. Tell your doctor that you have a Solar polyp behind your eye and need to have a full internal polyp check
