Which Sanwu laser was it? Power? Wavelength?
Lasers need to be treated like firearms, never point the aperture at yourself or anyone else, goggles or not, whether it's on or off, or has batteries in it or not.
LPF is hobbyist forum, we are not medical doctors, and there is no way we can diagnose any potential eye injury online. Many factors can determine whether an injury occurred or not. If you are concerned about something in your vision you should see an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

If you're really worried you were injured you should get it checked out by a professional, that's all we can tell you. But for glasses, Survival Lasers Eagle Pair are the way to go, and there is no single pair that works for every wavelength--that would be complete opaque black. You have to buy a pair or multiple pairs that work for the wavelength range your laser(s) are in

If you have a laser between 190-540nm like violet, blue, cyan, dpss green then yes
Dude did you end up getting the 7W striker?
well I use them and I've heard lots of positive/negative opinions lately so idk what to think. Do you have any reasoning?

welp that's probably the least safe pre-built handheld laser out there.....the only POSSIBLE silver lining and I'm not 100% sure is that usually Sanwu gives their diodes a soft start so if you looked at the laser right when it powered on you might not have been hit with all 7W at once but I think getting it checked out would be smart if it were me
