Someone I know in Canberra watched the 1976 eclipse as a kid. While travelling to the observing location during partial phases, and against his parents instructions, he looked at the partial eclipse naked eye from the back of the family station wagon.

There is a picture of his retina about halfway down this page

The picture is recent. When he was younger, the scar was very obviously crescent shaped as seen through an optical scope by his opthalmologist and his mother.
