Can a Solar Eclipse really cause eye damage?

[Arithmetic]

i heard its only gonna be like 50% eclipse in canada...

basically. They're just sunglasses

Not really, those glasses are so dark you can only see the sun through them. If you can see normal lights then they are fake and don't work.

The eclipse isn't anymore dangerous than looking at the sun alone....that is to say anytime you look at the sun you run the risk of those UV rays burning temporary or permanent blindspots into your retina. And because the retina has no pain receptors you don't feel any damage as it's occurring.

On long car rides, as a kid i use to look at the sun all the time but i was already in glasses when i was young so i was basically ignorant and like fukk my eyes lol. Now as an adult i've had lasik to correct my vision but other than that nothing major is wrong with my eyes so i personally ain't concerned bout no eclipse glasses. Will probably just throw some blublockers on to watch this shyt.

DONT DIRECTLY LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE.

The light around the corona can damage your eyes.

If you must, use protective gear.

This is what it does to a pig's eye with a telescope.



This is why you need a filter on telescopes or proper equipment

These are one of those things I never want to find out.

Even staring at the reflection of the sun will fukk your eyes up.
If the sun is out you will scorch your retinas looking at the snow. If you are in the artic or the ocean if you are adrift.

I regret not buying the glasses earlier. Everywhere is sold out.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]
