I dont see how the basking spot being illuminated well would cause any eye problems. as long as they have access to get away from the most illuminated part (as they should regardless to get away from the heat) there should be no issue whatsoever with too much illumination.
In fact I beleive many keepers overlook illumination levels within a basking spot,often times underestimating the (possible) beneifits of it. Seeing people use things like heat emitters and red bulbs as primary baskling spots for basking lizards (i.e. tegus and most teiids) is just absurd to me. It has been noted in some basking reptiles that animals with access to a well illuminated basking spot vs. ones that werent appear to thrive more in captivity and have better breeding results. Just something to ponder.
