Hi Steve - yeah I got that. I was just a little confused - that statement just sounded as if the physiology of your eye changes as you gain experience so that it isn't as effected by bright light anymore.

I imagine that if you do stare at an unfiltered full moon too many times your eyesight will be too shot to notice the big white patch in your eyes!

Hang on - just passed 100 posts! That snuck up on me!
