Interesting paragraph from that link:

If there is a problem of macular degeneration, Shri Manek suggests to do the following modified exercise: Look at the sun for a second or so. Then close your eyes and “see” the image of the sun in the “third eye” (ajna chakra – middle of the eyebrows). Keep focusing on this mental image as long as it persists. When the image goes away, open the eyes and just look at the sun once again, and then repeat the process (focus on the image with closed eyes). Repeat a third time. Do this until the image persists for about 5-6 minutes. At this time, the macular problem will be healed, and then you can do the regular practice.

Somehow, staring at the sun to cure macular degeneration sounds counterproductive.

"Somehow, staring at the sun to cure macular degeneration sounds counterproductive."

"Since June 18th, 1995, HRM has and continues to live only on sun energy and water. Occasionally, for hospitality and social purposes, he drinks tea, coffee and buttermilk. Until now, he had three strict fastings, during which he had just sun energy and only water and was under the control and observation of various science and medical teams. "

I bet he gets a lot mileage out of those hospitality and social purpose visits...

Then close your eyes and “see” the image of the sun in the “third eye” ... When the image goes away

I think we've all seen this effect from a camera flash.
