How doesn’t the sun damage our eyes when it is in our peripheral vision, but it does when we directly look into it?
In: Biology
Because it is not focused when it is in your peripheral vision. Your peripheral vision is actually more out of focus than you think, your brain compensates for it. It is like when you use a magnifying glass to burn something with sunlight. The lenses in your eye is the magnifying glass. As long as it is not focused, it won’t burn, the more it is focused, the more the energy (heat) is focused on a small point.
