Daily Livestream Resumes Tomorrow...
It's going to be later than usual, I haven't decided on the best times to do this. I have to hit the late afternoon to protect my eyes from the direct sun. The last time I did eyes open face upward, I burned my eyes and went blind for 3 days. True Story. Very scary.
Don't burn your retina or cornea doing this guys, it's more dangerous than you think, and more common than you realize. When I consulted the optometrist the next day, I had been blind since the evening after the pool party - I left early that day because I couldn't see after coming up from the water. No matter how many times I blinked my eyes. all I could see was haze and rainbows. And as the evening wore on, everything descended into fog with the inflammation building up.
The next morning at the optometrist, I was informed that I had BURNED my eyes from looking upward to the sun - the water had magnified the effect and essentially I had put myself through lazer burns on my cornea. They had luckily not permanently damaged my retina - but it was a close shave I never wish to go through again.
HOW do SEALS COPE? They have such cute big eyes, how do they not get sunburned underwater???
