Advice? would solar retinopathy lead to permanent blindness?

Partial loss: Solar retinopathy occurs when the sun or a bright light like a laser is focused long enough on one spot of the retina to thermally damage the light receptors. It will cause loss of vision in that area alone but the rest of the eye will remain visually normal. Ophthalmologists treat some retinal conditions with focused laser which destroys that spot but the rest of the retina remains the same.
