Crossword Genius

Eye damage from sun, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shiner

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'eye damage' is the first definition.
(shiner can mean a black eye)

'sun perhaps' is the second definition.
(something which shines)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for shiner that I've seen before include "Possible end of scrapping" , "A slangy black eye" , "device that lightens one's work" , "Mouse" , "Black eye (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
