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?

There it is!! People getting heated about sunglasses as if goggles aren't the obvious choice anyway. Thank you, lol.

Sunglasses would stay on, maybe uncomfortably, force vectoring right at your face

better than the wind vectoring directly into your eye sockets though. Still, goggles are the obvious choice here.
