Indirectly stared at sun for 5-10 mins

2017-11-13 00:34:23
Was sitting on the side of my bed, a window on the wall to my left. Light was hitting eyes at an angle (maybe 60-70 degrees). Happened for 5-10 mins before I realized my idiocy. Was around 6 AM, no headache, it's been an hour where I am (7 now). Spots on both eyes first few minsf more on right eye (closer to window), but gone now. I'd like to know the damage and chances of recovering. What to avoid and can I sleep immediately? I'll see an optometrist but right now I'm freaking out. Please help!
