I used to work beside wankers in body shops who would tack mig panels on without a mask, because they couldn't be arsed going to find one. I wonder if they've still got their eyesight?

Not after the first time you see a large lump of white hot metal spattering off the workpiece.... For a similar reason, welders tend to wear boots that can be removed very quickly indeed.

My sunbed has ten 100W UV tubes, and that certainly doesn't do as you describe.

Certainly, everything is relative.
Damage is pretty quick, with progressive exposure causing less and less damage, where finally there are no more rods and cones to destroy.
Once a dead cell, always a dead cell.
Anyone versed in arc welding, or ophthalmology will tell you it is wise to wear appropriate eye protection and that you are pretty stupid if you ignore such advice.

Your brain prevents your eyes looking at the sun.

At the risk of childish replies, mine doesn't. Can't you look at the sun? It's not that bright. What do you do when you're driving with very low sun? And I mean below the visor.

They've proved that the immediate damage in a few minutes in a load of nonsense. It obviously depends on the person.

It obviously depends on lots of things, and also how long you have to wait to feel the effects of the damage. Since many of these things are not knowable in advance, there is only one sensible approach.
