Although it is frequently claimed that the retina is burned by looking at the sun, retinal damage appears to occur primarily due to photochemical injury rather than thermal injury. The temperature rise from looking at the sun with a 3-mm pupil only causes a 4 Â°C increase in temperature, insufficient to photocoagulate.
Most often, the cause is not attributed to the sun, and often, the eyes are repeatedly burned, especially during summer and winter months when UV radiation is intensified, reflecting off snow and water. Over the years, repeatedly burning the eyes can lead to serious and permanent vision impairment.
