Yes, it took about two weeks to fully return. This was about 25 years ago. Fortunately there was no long term damage.

Bleach splashed in my eye once. I thought I was going blind because my vision completely clouded over. Extremely painful. I took an ambulance to the hospital and was treated for a chemical burn. The ophthalmologist told me bleach was worse than acid getting my eye.

Sorry your parents brushed you off. That was a legit medical emergency. Glad you are ok now.
