I did a Copied Factory run, the other day, all the small movements with my eye, looking around the screen, people to heal etc. my eye has been killing me. Still healing anyway, but I can only play for short-mid periods, and not high intensity without getting eye pain. Actually, I still get eye pain, it's just not as bad when I am not moving my eyes around too much.

Kind of sucks. Hard to heal while in pain.
I've never heard of pain associated with a retinal tear or even a detachment. If you do some Google searches you'll see that pain isn't a symptom. My dad had retinal tears and had no pain. I had a partial retinal detachment years ago and had to have surgery where they cut open my eye. The pain after that was excruciating for a few weeks even with prescription pain meds.

If you had tears you'd see changes in your vision that you hadn't seen days earlier, such as flashes of light or dark areas. If you had a partial detachment you'd see a dark area that keeps getting larger, blocking your vision within days if you don't do anything about it.

Sounds to me like you have something very different. If you aren't staring at the screen for a few days does the pain lessen?
