If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.

∙ 15y agoThe only thing dangerous about a solar eclipse is if you look directly at it without proper eye protection. NEVER look directly at the Sun. If you want to watch a solar eclipse, project the image on the wall, and let everyone look at the wall.

Why is it dangerous to look directly at the moon during a solar eclipse but not during lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse the earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over the moon. So while you are watching the eclipse there is no danger of accidentally looking directly at the sun. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the earth and the sun so the moon partially blocks out light from the sun. Thus to watch a solar eclipse requires looking directly at the sun which is very dangerous for the naked eye. So to avoid the risk of serious damage to the eye, you should only observe a solar eclipse using an indirect method.
