Best Answer

The suns rays can damage the retina without protection such as sunglasses or a welders shield. Thus making the retina burned and scarred. This scarring of the tissue will diminish your vision over time and can lead to partial blindness or total blindness.

Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?

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.
