Yes, that's the story it's telling

When I read OP's comment I thought they were saying that people from that region of the country would be more likely to stare into the sun and then google why their eyes hurt. Maybe that just says something about me and how I feel about them.

But yes. That's the reason because of course it is.

It's almost like, you stare at the sun, and it hurts your eyes regardless of whether the moon is in front of it or not.
