Aging Quote by Steven Magee
““I look at the sun all the time and have no eye issues, other than those associated with aging. I wear glasses for reading at age 54. I would never look at the sun through glasses, binoculars or telescopes though, as that is really dangerous! Anything that causes magnification or increased solar radiation levels (such as reflections) is bad for the eyes.””
