Which consequence befell early Islamic geometric optics researchers, using Alhazen's methods, attempting to measure extreme solar angles through parabolic reflectors?

💡 Explanation

Corneal damage occurs with parabolic reflectors attempting extreme solar angle observation because intense focusing elevates the electromagnetic radiation to damaging levels via refraction. Direct solar imaging resulted in retinal burning, therefore, rather than less severe optical effects or data errors.
