Will obviously cause EyeScream, and so, if this doesn't happen from looking at the sun, it's HarmlessLuminescence. Subtrope of CantSeeADamnThing. Compare BlindingCameraFlash. If the sun or other bright lights are used to blind an opponent for a combative advantage, that's BlindedByTheLight.

* ''Literature/RWBYFairyTalesOfRemnant'': In "The Man Who Stared at the Sun", when the sun suggests a contest, they expect the farmer to lose to avoid going blind. However, the farmer is unwavering and eventually wins the contest. When the sun demands to know how the farmer could stare at them for so long, the farmer admits he went blind in seconds; since the damage was done, he decided to keep going and fake it. Although annoyed by the trick, the sun accepts the outcome to respect the farmer's sacrifice. The story's moral is that people only achieve success through sacrifice, but certain characters such as [[BigGood Professor Ozpin]] prefer to re-interpret the moral as "don't stare at the sun".
