My 21st was this past Saturday and my friends and I drank basically all day. I can't remember much from the end of the night. Today is the Wednesday after and I still don't feel back to normal. I didn't drink before Saturday so it didn't take a lot to get drunk. Now, my eyes still can't focus and I have a slight headache. Is my head still adjusting or should I be concerned? Thank you!

    Maybe it's just a problem with your pupil still not reacting as fast as it might, but I also found this:

    "... research does indicate heavy binge drinking is capable of damaging optical nerves ... . Scientifically this condition is known as toxic amblyopia. Many people with this condition live each day of their lives with permanently blurred vision."

      Are all colours equally affected? Not being able to see things that are red so well, may, for example, indicate whether the problem is indeed with the optic nerve.

    I doubt one time would caus permanent damage. Just go get it checked by an eye doctor. Xx
