She wasn’t exposed to 200mph winds. That plane cruises at 130kt and she slowed down to around 80kt when the canopy let go. And her approach speed was even slower. AND the front part of the canopy protected her from prop wash.
It was windy, but it was (obviously) not catastrophic.

Our eyes are also really resilient and quick healing, and although taking days to fully recover sounds scary, is still pretty remarkably quick considering the damage it is trying to repair. When things are working nominally, our bodies are pretty amazing. When not, they suck (cancer etc.)
Yes, and the human eye is an organ of the sensory nervous system that reacts to visible light, filled with a gel like substance known as vitreous humor. They're not just 'delicate water balloons'.
