I did a little stupid thing..i was bending my finger all the way back to check my pain reflex and as soon as it hurted, i released it...it was fine until i started trying this with my eye...i tried pressing hard on my right eye with finger/thumb but eyelids closed..i had some mild eye pain for 2 days after this act..i am suffering from serious anxiety about all this now..i just want reassurance that i did not hurt mysef..i am not myopic and do not have any eye disease....can doing this cause retinal detachment/retinal tear in a normal eye? or traumatic glaucoma in later life....i heard simple pellet/toygun injuries causing extreme damage in the eye which is just trivial on any other body part because eyes are sensitive and do not have bone or muscle..i just want to make sure that even if pressing hard on eye by myself causes injury,its just a minor one and no permanent vision threatening?i tried the same on my left eye as well and it was sore with some pain for 5 days but then resolved

Hello
You should avoid doing these things as it may cause damage to your eyes
As your vision is still okay then chances of retinal detachment is very low
Having said that, kindly Consult local ophthalmologist and and get proper eye examination done
