[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most eye doctors will say there is no safe way to look directly at the sun. Even welders glass is not actually dark enough. Since your pupils are so dialated even when wearing there can be damage to the retina. I can see school systems being a bit shy to take that level of responsibility on directly. With this mostly happening at bus time, it’s hard to have any organized effort.[/quote] Eclipse glasses are darker than most welding glasses. https://www.planetary.org/articles/are-your-solar-eclipse-glasses-safe https://phillips-safety.com/welding-safety/can-i-use-welding-glasses-to-look-at-the-sun/ Eyee doctors see no benefit to eclipse watching (not their department) so any risk of error is too much for their recommendation.
