The retina has no sensitivity to pain, and since the effects of retinal damage may not appear for hours, there is no warning that an injury to your eye has occurred.

Exposing your eyes to the sun without proper eye protection during a solar eclipse can cause retinal burns (solar retinopathy).

Blink and you'll miss it 🌑☀️ A total solar eclipse swept across North America yesterday, blocking out the Sun for a few moments. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and, for a short period, blocks the face of the Sun, save for a visible ring of light, known as the Sun’s corona. These images by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) captured the moon's shadow casted on Earth's surface moving across North America from 16:00 to 23:00 CEST. 🎥 European Space Agency NOAA Satellites
