This is absolute total speculation but my guess is that the pain sensation is more of an interpretation created by your brain than any direct sensing of damage to your retina. Whatever it is that creates that sensation must require a certain number of nerves to be over simulated.
If you get shot in the eye with a sufficiently powerful laser (not a little laser pen) you’ll actually hear a pop from your retina exploding, but you won’t feel any pain.

Thanks for the imagery…
