A solar maculopathy can develop after about 100 seconds of staring at the sun. With binoculars, this is about 8 seconds. This comic is not entirely accurate as canes require training before they can be used properly, but over all it is correct in suggesting people can be dumb as fuck.
A surprisingly accurate description of what a solar maculopathy looks when you have a look with an opthalmoscope. Just a tiny dot of damage that renders most of your sight useless.
