>why is it not considered bad to look at the sun's reflection on the water? Who said it's not? It may hurt you as fast but it's still bad for you. https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/photokeratitis-snow-... | ||

Good point. It's all about balance though. People have been riding on boats on water for a long long time (most of it without the invention of sunglasses). And similar to the truck drivers who drive hours with one side exposed, or people who sunbathe a bunch - that is unbalanced. Staring at the sun at full brightness would be unbalanced. But I think never looking at it is also unbalanced. You can look at it, but keep your eyes moving - don't focus and stare at it for seconds (unless it's really low on the horizon, and then I think it is okay to stare at the sun). | ||
