Yes. The eyes are very sensitive to sunlight. Sunburning your eyes can cause damage to the light-sensitive membrane that covers the inside of the eyeball (retina) or damage to the lens (which can eventually cause cataracts).
You might also have pain, more tearing, and a gritty feeling in your eyes if they have been sunburned. These symptoms usually begin several hours after being in the sun. If these symptoms do not go away, an evaluation by a health professional is needed.

Yes your eyes actually can get sunburned just like they become lighter when they get more light for instance, A girl in my Biology class told me her mom fell a sleep with her eyes cracked open and it left a discolored strip, I hope that helped

Eyeballs or eyelids? Not sure about eyeballs, but eyelids are one of the most sensitive areas on the body to sun. They become very red and EXTREMELY swollen. My eyes swelled almost shut when I was a teenager. Very painful too.

paramedic is correct...and it is very painful at first especially early on. Be sure if this happens go to the doctor and don't take a chance with your eyes.

You can get a sunburn of the cornea and the white area surrounding the eyes itself.
