I'm going blind, but could it be from staring at the sun excessively, or just my regular consumption of 8 hrs. of t.v.?

staring at the sun excessively can cause damage to the rods and cones in your retina (sort of overloads them) they do not replace themselves that i know of...during an eclipse they tell u to look at it thru a pinhole in a paper to protect your eyes.. same with welding, looking at the glow and sparks can burn your retina out...i suggest u stop it....

Better read this then before you can't see it anymore.
The sun emits very dangerous ultra violet rays along with gamma rays and infra red rays and many others. Most of these don't harm us except for damage to the skin that we, naively, call 'suntan'. However staring at the sun can cause irreversible damage to the cornea so is something that should be avoided. Excessive use of computer equipment and T V can also cause damage due to ray emissions and you should refrain from continual use. Take a break at least once every hour and i don't mean just looking away. It's important to change locations and take a standing stance rather than sitting and make the break at least 5 minutes. Make sure you eat food rich in Vitamin A and consider supplements such as Lutien. Consult your optician for professional advice.

It is bad for you. Stop staring at the sun. The brightness will make you go blind.

tv won't get you blind unless you're reading a book on tv. actually reading books probably causes the most strain on eyes. if your eyes hurt, best thing to do is close them. staring at the sun is dangerous and it will blind you, but for a different reason. it'll just burn your receptors.

Neither, it was from too much action with your right hand in the bathroom staring at the playboy center folds.
