Is staring at the sun legitimately bad for your eyes? Or is that a lie made to sell sunglasses?
Anime characters stare at sunsets all the time.
its a lie. go out and stare at the sun anon.
You will get cataracts from it.
sorry to tell you this but, anime is neither real or realistic

I'm not trusting anyone who tells me to go outside, normalfag.

Why doesn't staring at stars hurt our eyes?

fuck that even having the sun come in through my windows is too much for me

They are extremely distant. Intense ultraviolet rays from our sun literally burn small holes into your eyes if you gaze at it for long periods of time.

The sun is shining light onto my computer monitor and wall through a white/grey translucent shade right now.
Am I fucking my eyes up as we speak?

Probably. Radiant energy is not so easily obstructed. If your eyes are in direct contact with the sun's corona, you will damage them very quickly. Why don't you just move some things around or put up a curtain?

I'm crippled and my parents refuse to move my furniture for me. They're gonna buy me curtains today but my I've been exposing my eyes to this reflected sunlight for 5 days now.

If you have blurred vision and odd spots in your line of sight, you're taking damage, which can manifest as cataracts in the long term. Solar retinopathy can occur within a minute if you stare directly at the sun, but few people can actually bear to gaze at it for that long except during a solar eclipse. If it's been like this for five days you're probably OK for the moment, but the sooner you get those curtains, the better.

>odd spots in your line of sight
I think I already have visual snow so it's kind of hard to tell whether my vision feels normal or not. Any more advice on how to tell?
Thanks, though,
