I appreciate your feedback. All we can do is share our personal experiences here. I won't be telling anyone what to do. Just what I have learned and how it has affected me.
After an optician confirmed recently there is nothing wrong with my eyes (after many years of doing this) I personally don't have any fears around this subject.
But understanding the specifics behind how it should be done... well, this is very important.
I would be interested to find out more about your personal experience?
I just stared at the sun in the very late hours of day for a very short time and it screwed up a very tiny part of my vision at the very center of my field of vision.
I don't understand how starring at the sun can help but I respect your experience. I just needed to add this warning so people can realize the very real dangers.
Understood. Yes, for sure this practice should come with a warning. I will make this clear when writing the main article.
The field of vision you mention. How is it now?
It's okay. When looking far away, the very point I'm focusing on is blurred so I can't see numbers or letters from far away but I pretty sure I'm better than 70% and possibly 80-90% so I can't really complain on my vision.
