A member asked:
The suns reflection was in my rearview mirror. it took me about 2 seconds to realize i was focused on it. should i worry about retinal damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: If it were that easy to get noticeable, permanent retinal damage to the eyes, by just looking at the sun for a few seconds in the rear view mirror, there would be plenty of blinded drivers on the road. No worries.
