What to do if i get really bad after-images/retinal burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid excess UV: Well,,after images and retinal burns are two very different things. After images can occur in normal light level settings and resolve in seconds with no adverse effect. Retinal burns represent photo toxicity... Sun gazing, photographing sun, eclipse gazing, welding light. Permanent damage to retinal photoreceptors can be irreversible. Advice- wear UV protective eyewear and avoid excess exposure
