    Nah, it’s a real thing though even if you take the precautions. Happened to me back in 2017 too; even if you use real eclipse glasses on top of regular sunglasses, after looking at the eclipsed sun too much (probably cumulatively less than a few minutes) my eyes hurt. I limited looking to less than a minute this time, eyes still felt slightly bad but not as bad as last time.

    imo the real mass damage this time around will be the phone cameras. I saw 10 different people trying to look at the sun through their phone camera for a long ass time.
