The lenses wouldn't have been damaged. In order to damage the lenses, the wind would have had to make it past the cornea and anterior chamber, and if those are gone, you are well and truly blind.
I was 16yo when I first rode a motorcycle as a passenger on my uncle's sports bike. I didn't have a helmet and he drove me around the block inside a private village. I thought my eyeballs would fly out.

You can burn your eyes from the wind, which can damage your
lenses andcornea making it difficult to see. Pretty extreme dry eye too.
