Will you get blind if you look at the sun during an eclipse

If you look directly at the sun for along time, it will sure damage your eye and will cause some eye problem like losing your eyesight. I think the main fact that we use x-ray film or tinted glasses is that we cannot see the eclipse with our naked eye. We need this things to fully see the eclipse and protect our eye from being hurt from the harmful sun rays that can damage our eye nerves.

I believe that a person may get blind in looking at the sunlight directly for a long time. In a solar eclipse, the sun still can be seen and if a person directly look at it, his eyes may be affected if it is for a long time. An x-ray or sunglasses are used because we can really see the eclipse without our eyes being strained. Although we may not totally be blind, yet it is not good for our eyes to directly fasten on the sun. Have a good day.
