Don’t look at the sun for any amount of time, with or without glasses. You only get one pair of eyes, please take care of them.
“Warning: Do not look into laser with remaining eye”
Eyeglasses are designed with a focal length to project an image through the lens in your eye onto your retina, not to concentrate all the light into a single point.
That said, please don’t stare at the sun for 5 continuous seconds. You are likely to cause permanent long-term damage to your retina doing that. Don’t look directly at the sun at all, ever
It could if you actually maneuver your glasses to focus the light into a single spot like you would with a magnifying glass. I feel like you’ve never actually done it with a magnifying glass if you’re assuming it’s as simple as just getting it between the sun and the thing you’re trying to burn. It takes some fanagling to line everything up perfectly.
But also even without glasses (magnifying or otherwise), looking directly into the sun will fuck your eyes up.
It does, but your eyes have a lot of water in them. Don’t do it again.
Both eye glasses and magnifying glasses can be used to start a fire but both also take a bit to do so and have to be held in the exact right angle.
Right angle and focal distance. Eyeglasses sit such that the focal point concentrated enough to start a fire is a focal point further away than the back of your retina. But it can still cause permanent sunburn/vision loss.
If you don’t look away from the Sun after 0.05 seconds of direct eye contact what kind of robotic AI are you?
