Unbelievable

It’s perfectly safe to look at a total solar eclipse without eye protection. It’s just not safe to look right at the sun, especially just before or after a total eclipse.

Easily cured, just by eating a few Tide Pods.

Who hasn’t looked right at the sun, briefly?

Due to the past few years of lies from doctors regarding the fauci funded china virus, people just figured the doctors were lying again.

The affected must have stared at the eclipse for a sustainable amount of time to damage the eyes.

If you know how you can look right at the sun without damage. But it’s best to just say “never do it”. It can burn holes in your cornea that will never completely heal your whole life.

Retina, I mean. Whatever.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Indeed. How stupid do you have to be?

Cornia? Wrong. Retina. Cornia merely passes light to lense which focuses and passes all wavelengths to the retina.

Is that Jackson Lee looking for the “gas” station on the moon. ROTFL!!! All that gas that makes up the moon has to come from somewhere.

We all did it as kids, looking briefly, it doesn’t make you go blind
But a cheaper way to get real protection is just to hold a piece of plate glass at the end of a candle flame, and let it get coated with carbon soot ... makes a great sun filter!

Sounds sketchy. An arc welding filter will work, I forget the exact grade. 14 I think. But if you let your pupils fully constrict (opposite of dilate) instead of just suddenly looking at the naked sun, it won’t do a lot of damage to look right at it. I’ve heard of people that have permanent spots in their vision from looking at the sun, however. So doing it is stupid especially since there’s no real reason to.
To: canuck_conservative
How much of this was from people who actually damaged their eyes vs those who glanced at the sun and had the normal day to day scratchiness that you otherwise never worry about but panicked because of it? If your eyes hurt, it isn't likely from retina damage.
