Yes it does.

No it doesn’t. Quite demonstrably actually

Here’s another link. Unless you’re disputing Maxwell’s equations you are simply incorrect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

Correct. This is the Change of momentum. Nothing is “injecting” light into your eyeballs. The light bounces or absorbs, it doesn’t create the same pressure in a medium.

Yes change in momentum is pressure.

Pressure is defined as force/area which is the same as momentum/area/time.

I agree injecting is not the ideal word but i feel it technically fits the definition.
