I think it's cool when people admit and share their mistakes with others, so thank you for that. We all mess up.
What I don't get is why look at it? It's not even possible to see the cool part without the glasses (or viewer box) and it hurts.

So what is slow 20/20 vision? Does anybody know?

[@orangestoneface]

hat is slow vision?
Low vision may involve a variety of different types of visual impairment; not just nearsightedness or farsightedness, but also peripheral vision loss, a blind spot or blurred vision. You might have OK vision in some ways but still have low vision overall. Low vision isn't total blindness - some vision remains.

I know people who used the glasses (the authentic ones) and are having visual issues. The eclipse is not worth it. Watch it on live streaming or video.
