You guys realize that there's not something inherently worse about looking at the sun during an eclipse compared to looking at the sun normally, right? And we have partial eclipses fairly regularly (every 5-10 years or so).
Again, you should use legit glasses and filters. No question. All I'm saying is that, if this were a HUGE problem, you'd see a shit ton of people with blindness related to the sun. Does it happen? Sure. It's just not anything to worry about as long as you're not an idiot.
The one thing I'll say that IS a huge issue is looking at it through any kind of telescope or binoculars without having a filter on the ENTRY POINT to the lens. Ever lit a fire with a magnifying glass? Think that, but the back of your cornea. Don't do that.
