No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?

A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked from view due to the moon passing exactly in front of the sun as it circles around the globe. However, since the earth moon and sun do not share the same orbital plane, this happens very rarely. You MUST wear special protective eye covering to directly observe a solar eclipse or you risk causing serious injury including blindness. Sunglasses, however good they are, DO NOT PROTECT YOUR EYES during a solar eclipse. Don't directly observe a solar eclipse unless you have guaranteed that your eye wear is certified to protect you. A lunar eclipse is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the globe, and the moon is full. At this time, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon this is called a lunar eclipse. The moon will often appear red during a total lunar eclipse. For the same reason as a solar eclipse, this also happens very rarely, but more frequently at a given location than solar eclipses. It is safe to observe a lunar eclipse without any special protective covering for the eyes. Just remember that if you are looking at an eclipse at night, it is safe to view.

How do you view an eclipse?

Well first you go outside. Then you look up at the sky. Now a lunar eclipse involves the moon and a solar involves the sun. I have personally seen a lunar eclipse. The moon's surface turns a dark brown because of Earth's shadow. A solar eclipse is much more interesting. During a solar, the moon moves in front of the sun covering everything but the rim called the corona. Wear sunglasses when viewing a solar eclipse.
