So a little update, and thank you for the responses...
I went to the doctor, and like another poster had mentioned, I singed the protective layer around my retinas, and did extensive damage to the retinas, as well.He said the headaches will dissipate, but the eye damage is permanent 
I was honest with him because I wanted him to know everything to properly treat me. He said if I continued, even a week more, I very well could have gone blind. He also said that it is a very real possibility that in a few years I still may go blind.  H This has been a nightmare. He said wearing glasses or contacts at this time could further damage my eyes, as they are incredibly sensitive now. I honestly feel like a fucking moron. I need to do monthly check ups with a leading doctor in the field, and he also wants me to speak to a therapist for my potential upcoming fate, as well as why I would do something so moronic.
Thank you for all of your help guys. Please keep me in your thoughts.

If you aren't a troll, you should probably avoid having children.

That's pretty harsh 
My wife and I have 2 children. My oldest was the one who got me the binoculars (my wife bought them, knowing how much I enjoy watching birds and wildlife in the yard).
Please stick to positive criticism and avoid the insults. I know what I did was stupid and I feel terrible about it.

What is ironic? Are you suggesting I copied some obscure Erowid article? Two people, on this very board, on this forum, have confirmed that they also did this, showing tht tis is more common than one may think. I know what I did was moronic, but if you are implying I copied this from somewhere, it's just not true, no matter how much I wish it was.

OP, if your dr advised against glasses/contacts as an aid in the meantime, what kind of treatment options is he planning on pursuing?
I'm honestly curious what they can medically do about this if the damage is indeed permanent and any seeing aids like glasses will do more harm than good?
I'm sorry this happened, but god damn..........

Man I'm truly sorry to hear about that.
I'm guessing those visuals you got were actually what your eyes saw as they were being damaged.

i used to stare at the sun as a kid too. for the visual effects, they are amazing, OP is right about extended staring leading to almost dmt like visuals. i think i was ten, and i really fucked up my eyes, but not like OP. i had glasses for years, but got lasik a few years ago and see great now, better than I ever remember.
sorry OP, that sucks man. but i do have a hard time accepting you doing that as an adult and thru binoculars. damn man. just damn.

Dear anon1, first off try not to worry and ruminate about this, what's done is done and is in the past. I'm sure there's some sort of lesson to be learned in there somewhere.
As for dealing with the consequences, I would just keep an eye out for studies and breakthroughs regarding retina regeneration.
Even if they have nothing right now, they might have something in 3, 6 or 16 years. Maybe some good will come of it, you'll find ways to keep eyes healthy, become knowledgeable about eyes in general, etc. Or even implants or who knows what else they invent in a decade or two from now.
Please resume your normal and safe tripping activities if you feel the need to change states. There are many wonderful cacti and shrooms and DMT sources growing here for our pleasure and benefit, please make use of them and stay safe

Man I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how someone with a master's degree from college would think it's a good idea to stare directly at the sun... through binoculars.... multiple times.. total mindfuck.
You undoubtedly caused permanent damage to your retinas, that was the "intense visuals" you were seeing. I've heard similar reports of people who stared at the sun through a telescope or something, crazy visuals - right before they went blind.
Anyway OP, I hope the damage isn't too severe but if you were getting intense headaches from it and seeing extremely blurry now the damage is already done. Hopefully it's not too bad and you can recover from it and it doesn't actually get worse.. which it very well could, but stay positive and DONT FUCKING STARE AT THE SUN.
Anyway if I were you I would be looking for anything and everything to help restore my eyesight, and things like this http://alignlife.com/articles/corporatewellness/top_herbs_for_vision_and_eye_health

Giving the benefit of the doubt and saying your not a troll. I'll give an answer because most are ass hole responses. Staring at the sun was a dumb ass move to begin with but you def need to get your eyes checked out by an dr. thats a specialists in eyes.
I wore glasses and contacts for 8 years be for I had to go the hospital because they were the only ones taking medicaid and that's how I found out I had astigmatism.
