I totally agree!

The sun does burn the retinas, even just a casual glance.

During an Eclipse, the biggest danger is when the sun reappears by only the slightest limb! Your eyes have adjusted to the darker sun, and then WAMMO!!!! The limb of the sun peeks around the edge and hits a fully open pupil!

Even with sunglasses etc.
With semi-protected eyes, the pupil opens even further.

Fried Eyes time!
