reread what i said.  and yes the sun does do damage so i don't go out during the day.  and by not staring at it, you're destroying your peripheral vision, old welders always have this problem. they think they can just turn their head. i was riding with a guy that did that and he was always speeding and driving left of center because he couldn't see shit out of his side vision and was afraid of the sides of the road and not being able to see pedestrians, his words not mine. just because you don't instantly go blind does not mean you're not taking damage  reread what i said, i'm intimately familiar with this tech.
