Take off your shoes and walk around on grass or dirt for a while - ground yourself really well. Sounds dumb, but yogis have been staring at the sun (for hours at a time, eventually) for thousands of years in India with no eye damage. They work up to it though.

source: I've stared at the sun on the regular, for several decades.

Considering you destroy the cells in your retina by doing that, I call absolute horseshit on both what you claim to be doing and also what they supposedly did.

Stare at the moon for 20 seconds.

Get off your fucking phone and ice your eyes in complete darkness for the next 2days

I would really like the back story on how that happened.

[–] 1 pt (edited )

Just had a brief but intense snow storm and the clouds were clearing out rapidly. There was a really beautiful intense patch of what I thought were crespuscular rays coming through the swirling clouds and it was really pretty. But the clouds cleared a little more and my eyes began to ache and it turns out I had just been staring directly into the sun the entire time.

How are you reading all this if the sun made you blind

[–] 1 pt

Didn't blind me just made my eyes hurt a lot. There was always at least partial cloud coverage before I realized it was the sun

I did this for a good number of seconds a few years back during an eclipse. I thought the cloud layers would block things but later read that it doesn't. Was worried about it.

Everyone thinks I'm a retard, but I had a damn good reason for staring directly into the sun

Stare at it again. It will cancel out the bright spot in your vision. Trust me...

Newton said he did longer, went blind for a few days, and vision slowly returned afterwards. He also tried to figure out what was behind his eyeball by shoving a metal pin back in there, when he wasn't casually inventing calculus.

The only way is to keep staring into the sun until it doesn't hurt anymore. Its like when guitar players get callous through practice only on your eyes.

You should be okay. Light agitates eyes while they heal. Try to close curtains and have some extra rest while your body works it's magic. If after a week you aren't feeling better stop by an eye doctor to assist, though I'm confident you'll be fine.
