health query about eye making too nervous about any long lasting damage

[abhi_1122]

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 with some little blurry vision but then resolved eventually.....i was doing this to see how much pain i could bear in the eye…just like a child squeezing his testicles and the testicles have a lot of nerve supply..so we release the squeeze because to much pain…i also tried this because of watching some movie scene about eye-gouging,i guess...sorry....but please help....and try not to advice me about visiting an opthalmologist, as my vision seems fine....but tell me rather on long term basis....that was this enough to cause some serious injury in a normal eye.?..or i am just being afraid for no reason

I think you eye will be fine but I suggest you head over to the anxiety forums for some help with that.
