Just to be clear, this will happen ANY TIME you stare at the sun. News agencies and school boards seem to think that the eclipse is somehow more dangerous than the sun is on any other day.
A coworker asked me if I had any eclipse glasses, and when I said I didn't, she replied "guess I'll have to drive home with my eyes closed". Another one told me she didn't want anything to do with the eclipse, and that she'd stay inside with the blinds closed.
Misunderstandings and misinformation are out of hand.
To be fair, there wouldn't be a difference between driving with eclipse glasses and driving with your eyes closed.
As someone who has read Berserk, no no. I get it. Nothing to do with eclipses.
The eclipse is more dangerous actually... The visible light is reduced so your pupil expands. But a lot of UV light comes from the corona of the sun which isn't blocked during the eclipse. So your pupils are more open allowing in more of the harmful UV light. And to add to it, your eyes don't realize they are being harmed by UV light without the visible so you don't have that impulse to look away.
That's true, but you usually don't stare at the sun because there really isn't much to see. With an eclipse people will stare for several minutes or until their eyes boil.

Like yes, staring at the sun any time is bad, I don't think anyone is disputing that, but there are factors as to why an eclipse makes it more likely for people to damage their eyes.
