It happens every time an eclipse occurs, somewhere in the path of the eclipse.

Please understand ... it's not actually the eclipse that blinds. It's more the novelty of the occasion.

During an eclipse, people are tempted to stare at the sun to see what's going on. It's the staring

at the sun that causes eye damage, just as it would any time of any day ... eclipse or no eclipse ...

if a person stared at the sun.

Can you look into a solar eclipse with out eye protection?

During the total eclipse phase, you can - but I do NOT recommend it. When the first sliver of Sun comes out from behind the Moon, you can be blinded in a second. Build a solar ellipse projector using a large cardboard box; it's a lot safer. Or watch it on the web.
