  1. So I started to wonder how many individuals have been blinded and lost vision by checking out the solar eclipse that occasionally pops up. I looked it up for you, it seems to be pretty rare: "Though it sounds like an old wives' tale, there are more than 100 documented cases of serious and permanent eye damage that was due to people staring too long at a solar eclipse, said B. Ralph Chou, a professor emeritus of optometry at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. However, this type of damage, called solar retinopathy, will not typically make a person completely blind."
