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.
When the eye is sunburn the white of the eye becomes blood shot, the eye feels gritty, and one becomes sensitive to light. Similar to skin sunburn, eye sunburn occurs when too many powerful UV rays hit your fragile cornea and it cannot immediately recover. Apart from being the outer layer of defense for your eye, protecting against dirt and sand, the cornea also shields more delicate parts of the eye from harmful UV light.
