The answer to this question, as asked, is obviously no. Imagine all the light leaving the sun reaching your eyes.
It's much more interesting if asked in a different way. The rod cells of the human eye can detect a single photon. Imagine you and I are in a completely dark, closed room. A physical event generates a single photon of light. You see it. Could I see it also? Does that mean the single photon interacted with your eye and with mine?

No. Light is scattered in all directions. You only get the light that comes in your direction.
If you got all of the light, then how could anyone else possible see that object?
