Airgun induced sexual excitement may be the problem.
The symptoms are:
1 Temporary Blindness
2 Excessice hair growing on one hand.
If you have both symptoms, your life is in grave danger.
See a doctor right away!!
I get exactly the same thing..
I always figured its the small amount of focus error your eye is making up for for a whole afternoon. My eyes go back to normal about half hour after shooting…
The increase in blood pressure due to a high level of adrinaline causes you to be on the verge of temporary blindness…Take an asprin before shooting and Have your blood pressure checked….
Is your scope in focus immediately when you put your eye to it? ie, the crosshairs and the target.
Your eye will adjust on it’s own, but it helps to adjust the rear focus ring to as clear as possible when you immediately put your eye to it. Less strain on your eyes. Works for me.

I think I know what you mean, my eyes get a bit weird to after a shooting session. Some of it may be because when you’re looking thru the scope, that eye is taking in mega light, especially on a bright sunny day, while the other eye, usually closed, is taking in no light at all. So one pupil is dialating because of no light, while the other pupil is closing up from tons of light. Because of this, it’s my right eye that gets the slightly blind effect. So when your done shooting, it takes a few minutes for your eyes to correct themselves again under normal conditions.
