[quote=kath;#265994;1344238041]Looking Straight at the Sun Will Damage Your Sight
Fact: Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies. The most dangerous time for sun gazing is during a solar eclipse. The brightness of the sun is hidden; but the dangerous invisible rays that permanently burn your eyes are not reduced.[/quote]
I remember I stared directly at the sun for five minutes after reading an article on how to change your eye color. Looking back makes me feel even dumber but after reading this I feel worried. >.< Thanks for this!
