Long term exposure to the sun isn't a good for people, however we are designed to cope with sudden bright lights. Otherwise before things like sunglasses and buggy visors were invented everyone would have ended up with their eyes damaged as babies. Using these is comparitively recent and one exposure is unlikely to be a real hazard.
If you have any questions I would see a pediatric ophthalmologists. An ophthalmologist goes to medical school, is an M.D and trains in eye diseases and surgery for 4 extra years. A pediatric ophthalmologist trains an extra 1-2 years in just children. An optometrist goes to optometry school and gets an O.D degree. They do very basic eye exams and give glasses. If it was my child and there was any question that is what I would do.
My father is an optometrist, mom is an ophthalmologist
i don't think so only exposing in sun cause harm, so don't worry if any problem comes run to doctor.
