How do glasses work? If I took a magnifying glass to burn it from the sun. How come the same thing doesn't happen to my eyes even just staring up at the sun for 5 sec?

Something that i havent seen here i that there are dofferent types of glasses. Iirc they use concave lenses for farsightedness and convex for short sightedness. You cant focus light with a convex lens. I could have this backwards or totally wrong, someone please let me know.
