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.
To follow the progress of a solar eclipse, of course! But gazing at the Sun for any length of time without proper eye protection is terribly dangerous and may result in âeclipse blindness,â a serious injury in which the eyeâs retina is damaged by solar radiation.
