Sunning - Bates method

Hi

I have read a few threads on here about 'sunning' and the benefits that it might bring but am concerned about the possibility of damaging the eyes. It is obvious that one should not look directly at the sun with eyes open but I would have thought that even with ones eyes closed, prolongued staring at the sun would do some damage; afterall the eyelid is only a thin membrane is it not?

I guess that as it has long been practised any dangers would have been found out but as I am not a medical man I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
