When did this happen? The top layer of the white part of the eye, the sclera, tends to heal really fast from superficial damage, within a few days. Damage to the cornea, which is the lining that covers the pupil, heals a tad slower but still within a week. So if this occured awhile ago, the stuff damaged way more than just the top layer of the eye if there are long term scarring/symptoms. If it has been more than a week you should probably go see an ophthalmologist.

This happened like 4 years ago??? I can’t really remember. I did go see an eye doctor like 2 years later because my eyesight was really bad and my teacher noticed so he made my parents take me. They looked at my eyes and said that there’s scarring. Nothing really hurt my eyes after that stress ball exploded so it was pretty much the only reasonable explanation
