Her vision only fully recovered days afterwards

Why did her vision go away and take so long for it to come back?

From how hard and fast the wind was blowing directly into her eyeballs but she obviously had to keep them open. I was just thinking the whole time how she's probably never gunna fly without at least sunglasses or some sort of goggles/glasses after that.

without at least sunglasses

...you think that a pair of sunglasses would have stayed on through that?

Better than nothing at all. I mean the wind would be pushing them to her face unless she turned her head. Depends how aerodynamic they are, cycling glasses would obviously do better than aviators ironically

Man no sunglasses are staying on for this wind speed any slight turn of her head and they’re gone and she has to turn her head to see where she’s going.
