So this whole story was almost pointless, they didn’t find any unsafe glasses, the one they bought on Craigslist and examined by the ‘expert’ was not deemed unsafe, the expert said he doesn’t know.

​@user-wz6gd1qv4ilooking at the sun doesn't make you go blind. That's an old wives tale. I've looked directly at the sun many times since I was a little kid, even through binoculars and telescopes. I'm now 60 years old and my eyesight is fine. I don't even wear glasses.

[@Faithdced]

Basically, the real solar eclipse safe viewing glasses won't allow you to see Anything but the sun or extremely bright lights, such as those when welding. When you put them on, it is absolutely pitch black. When you look at the sun with them, it'll be just a small circular round light, not even bright on your eyes. If you end up with glasses that show through more than that, it's not safe to look at the sun with them.

[@haven_lady675]

Use your flashlight on your phone. Put your glasses onto the phone flashlight. If the light appears like a small speck, it's real. But if the light is a big circle, you got a fake.

[@EllieOscar]

⚠️if ur worried ur glasses may be fake then I would recommend putting them on and looking at the sun before the eclipse, if the sun is a orange color then ur good.👍
