This may sound obvious to you guys and I know hind sight is 20/20, but I just learned the hard way on this one. Hope I didn't melt my retina as well

[quadrafire]

It may not be 20/20 anymore

Hope everything turns out alright.

Same goes for binoculars and phone lens

Sun filter goes on the scope lense. Nothing you wear to cover your eyes, short of a plate of steel, will protect them when you look at the sun through a spotting or scope.

You be very lucky not to suffer permanent damage. Best of luck in healing process

He had the sunglasses on the eyepiece side, so the sun was magnified 20x or 30x - or whatever power his scope is.  At that point it's virtually a laser beam and would have fried his retina in an instant.  corneal flash burn

Hoping for the best for you       You should go see the eye doc.
