As a kid i used to stare at sun for long times now i am 26 years old, can i go blind by the sun damage(caused at that time) now after a long time?

Doubt it: Your eyes would not wait 20 years to suddenly make you blind. What you have now is what you have left from such exposure. It was never a good idea to do that but if you care for your eyes now they should serve you well at their current level.
