OFFICIAL /BLINDBOYS/ REPORT Ok, so you looked at the fucking

TREATMENT OPTIONS:

>Go to the doctor
Seemingly a good option, but the lines will be cloged with other retard with you. Further, there is nothing the doctors can do. You will be told to "wait and see," come back in a few days to get a checkout. This wont help, but it may help you feel better.
Outlook: bleak

>Stare into the Sun
Fuck it. Its over, so you may as well look at something beautiful with the last of your vision. You stare longingly at the sun. Alternatively, stare angrily. It wont help, but it will feel good.
Outlook: You blind nigga.

>Wait it out
Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones. Who knows? Sit inside, close all of the blinds and make your room as dark a possible. Cover any affected eyes(s) with an eyepatch or similar. Wait it out.
Outlook: good.

>>9121243
Why didn't I listen lads. I only looked for half a moment and 6 hours later, my eyes still hurt. I even made one of those stupid cereal box viewers but I wanted to see how much of the eclipse was actually visible

>>9121243
I put my cell phone in selfie mode and looked at it that way

shit i was at a public event for eclipse viewing and looked into a lot of people's telescopes, i hope nobody put their shit incorrectly. I heard that damaged eyes start to show after one day

DARKNESS
IMPRISONING ME
ALL THAT I SEE
ABSOLUTE HORROR
I CANNOT LIVE
I CANNOT DIE
TRAPPED IN MYSELF
BODY MY HOLDING CELL

who /level1/ here

I think I looked at it for a second or two, but it was cloudy and barely saw anything. But I've had what feels like a sinus headache behind my left eye ever since. Can't tell if about to be blind or just allergies acting up.

>>9121259
here
Who /2-3 second peek/
i'm so fucked

I thought it was okay to look at it at the peak if you were in the path of totality. I didn't do it but I saw people on tv doing it.

What gives?

>>9121266
You can there, but not anywhere else where the sun isn't fully covered.

I obsessive compulsive literally stared at the sun through my telescope until I smelled burnt hair. There is a hole through my skull and out the back of my head. I can not see out of that eye or hear out of my ear on the same side. The opposite side of my body is functionally retarded and can no longer do math not even basic math.

I have no insurance and I am still bleeding.

Will this get better on its own? I know I am fucked but does bone grow back?

>>9121259
/here/, currently wearing improvised eyepatch. 7 hours since exposure, estimated time until blindness: 5 hours

I hope none of you gullible retards bought the meme goggles.

>>9121255
> I heard that damaged eyes start to show after one day
Yes, it takes ~12 hours for the real damage to set in.

>>9121254
I almost did this, but then the sun reflected on the white part above the screen, and even that was really bright, so I decided not to

>>9121247
>you will be told to "wait and see"
how ironic

I stared at the sun through high powered binoculars until my eyeballs boiled.

How long until I can see again?

>>9121285
Never ever.

>>9121285
5-10 years

>>9121275
w-what meme goggles?

fuck I thought I could avoid it by looking at it through a mirror and im experiencing /level 3/

I don't regret sleeping though it now there is no way i would have resisted not staring directly at it

>>9121299
You wont know if you're level 3 until tomorrow morning. It takes 12 hours to reach level 3.

>tfw i saw so many people using the smoked glass method (which doesn't actually protect your eyes)

Threads like these make me terrified because of all the occasional half second glances I took at the sun even when I had the reflective glasses. Just imagining spending your last night with sight and waking up in the morning in darkness.

can someone explain why it takes 12 hrs to experience the damage?

I looked for 1 second at most. I couldn't even tell it was an eclipse because it was so bright that I turned away very quickly. The after-image only lasted a few seconds. I've had worse from looking at a flashlight. Now my eyes are dry and hurt a little. I'm a hypochrondiac so it is probably all in my head. I hope.

>>9121321
Nigga you blind

>>9121327

I don't want to wake up blind, so I'm just going to stay awake all night and see what happens.

>>9121319
It takes 12 hours for the cells to die from the UV radiation. Their genetic material gets damaged from the sun, and once they realize, they kill themselves. Takes times.

i think i coined blindboys

When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once, when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal.I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly, daylight crept in through the bandages and I could see. But something else had changed inside me.

>live in an area with heavy fog
>it was overcast
>nobody saw the eclipse, nobody got eye damage

>>9121392
The first 5 seconds of looking at the eclipse are the most damaging.

If you looked at it for 1-2 seconds, you might have damage. If you looked at it for 3 seconds, you DEFINITELY will have some sight loss in a few days.

>>9121421
This is bullshit. Anything over 10-15 seconds consecutively is when the real damage happens.

Unless you literally stared at it for a minute straight you should be fine.
If you're seeing spots just rest your eyes in total darkness for few hours for the next few days.

I wonder if entire villages or countries went blind in the past. If there was a total eclipse thousands of years ago, you know everybody would be staring at it for long periods of time.

Probably not. Just the dumb ones, as always. I mean fuck, we have a built in defense mechanism that makes us sneeze if we do look at it.

>>9121426

I'm inclined to agree with you, but source?

>>9121449

He doesn't have one because its bullshit. The time you can "safely" look at the sun varies hugely depending not only on the weather but also on your latitude and the time of year.

>>9121444

The president is a billionaire who can afford the very best medical treatment.

>>9121444
the President has the secret service protecting him

>>9121437

It's possible, but with little to no cloud cover a 99% eclipse is still painful to look at.

I was in the band today, and the instant that secondary diamond ring always
appeared I had to look away.

With moderate cloud cover it's possible to look directly at the eclipse without any pain for extended periods of time (though still a bad idea), but that's possible with a full sun too (again, speaking from experience)

I (foolishly) looked at the sun for about 15-20 seconds total today without eyepro while during a broken sky, the sun peeked through a small break in the clouds. It wasn't bad to look at (from a brightness standpoint at least) but next time I'll definitely wear some eye protection, but i do think clouds definitely help.

During the eclipse, your pupils don't dilate as much, so you take in more light. Also, the visible light is less bright, so you're not prompted to squint and/or look away.

Might be unrelated but the bone part, above the left eye but below the eyebrow, feels sore. Other than that I feel fine.

i just did an amsler test, and the lines dont change or bend, or distort. But i noticed that there is a SMALL great dot, 1 in my left eye and two in my right eye when i focus on a white sheet of paper.; I looked a few times, while the sun was behind the clouds for a few seconds at a time. There were a lot of clouds so i thought it was fine. I was using a proper solar viewer, but this isnt the typical "floaters" in my eyes. Its a very distinct grey dot in the center of my field of vision that stays in my sight where my eye is focused.

I think im going to keep my eyes shut for a day and hope it goes away. I cant notice it unless im staring at a white sheet of paper of a blank white screen on my computer.

ill keep updated.

Which glasses are the meme ones again? Every time I blink I see a white dot in the middle of my eye and now I'm paranoid. Earlier today my eyes ached after the eclipse ended, but I took a nap and they feel fine now.

Went outside. Looked at sun at the peak time (looked like a diamond sorta?) because I wanted to hurt self enough to get disability.

Stared at it until it hurt a bit.

After I rubbed my eyes for a bit and drank some water, I felt fine. No issues to report.


Is there any way to fake having fucked my vision up so I can collect neetbux?

>>9121646
sorry anon

>>9121657

Level 1 is your sunburn, which is the 10 seconds mark and higher.

Depending on the conditions (smog, clouds and time), it can 20 seconds.

>>9121643
Made it in the back of a car after having to run to Walmart for all this shit an hour before the total eclipse. I slept through my alarm.

I didn't even see the eclipse today but a couple years ago I think in 2014 I used sunglasses to see it a couple times and I didn't get fucked. Though my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be

>the chad Helios veneration

fuck. I glanced at it for like half a second earlier and then looked away. then I glanced at it a second time for like half a second again then gave up looking at it because it didn't really look like shit but the sun on any other day. I had a black spot in my eye (like you get after viewing a bright light) for like 10 or 20 seconds then it went away. I thought I was all good.

I got home after a long day at work and then passed the fuck out for a nap and just woke up. The center of my vision is blurry. Not super, super blurry, but I have to focus and strain a bit to read like 12pt font. I'm looking at the back of a vitamin bottle that had small text that I could read before but now I can't no matter how hard I try.

I think I'm going to make an appointment with the dr. tomorrow. wish me luck, anons

>>9121680
2012 actually

>>9121243
How long so you have to look at the sun to get the symptoms. I'm at the 10 hour mark and haven't gotten any yet

>>9121690

You haven't done shit to your eyes, anon.

The first level of pain is actual burning pain, like sunburn. Just on your eyes (so, worst). The blurriness is the least of the problems. You need to stare at about 10 seconds before you get this bad (closer to 20, as they're usually overly cautious and base it on the most sensitive).

>>9121702

10-20 seconds for level 1.

Over 20 but under 100 for level 2.

100 and over for 3.

>>9121706
What kind of retard looks at the sun for 10 seconds straight though without proper protection though. How is this an actual problem for you people

>>9121712

Indeed

Though, when the sun is about 80 percent covered from an eclipse, it can be misleading, as it doesn't hurt your eyes as much physically (so you don't look away), but it's damaging your eyes all the same, but not as bad.

So, if you're staring at a partial sun for a minute, you're going to have sore eyes afterwards.

But yeah, you can barely stare at the sun for 20 seconds without forcing yourself.

>>9121726
I was in an area with 85% eclipse and the sun looked no different unless I used a welding mask to actually look at it

What I'm wondering is that, they plastered news and information that "looking at the eclipse will blind you", but that's about as informative as "going near fire will burn you"

Is there any objective information about what length of eye contact with the eclipse will cause what amount of eye damage?

I stared at the sun for like 10 seconds before and I'm good. When I was little I also tripped and scraped my eye with a pocket knife. Still don't even need glasses or anything. Yeah I'm basically a super hero.
Also pic related is how I viewed the eclipse.

>>9121753

Did he stare at it for over 100 seconds?

You can stare at it for under 10 seconds without temporary damage.

>So how long can you look before getting hurt? Not long, says Jacob Chung, Chief of Opthalmology at New Jersey's Englewood Hospital.
>"If you look at it for a second or two, nothing will happen," he said. "Five seconds, I'm not sure, but 10 seconds is probably too long, and 20 seconds is definitely too long."
>You won't feel any pain if your eyes suffer damage, Chung said, because our retinas lack pain fibers. Retinas can't heal themselves, either, he said, making permanent damage a possibility.
> Any blurry vision won't kick in for a day or two, after the affected area swells "like an egg yolk" Schecter said. It can take months, even a year, for eyes to return to normal, he said — if it they do at all.
>One way to test at home whether you've damaged your eyes is to print off an Amsler Grid, a tool used to detect vision problems. Closing each eye separately, focus on the center dot and see whether the surrounding grid appears wavy, splotchy or distorted

>>9121733
Yeah, same here. Pic related was what it looked like at 85%. The only way you could look long enough to get damage in this zone would be if you were a retard who stacked sunglasses and really tried to look at it for a long time.

>>9121905

No, because it burns and hurts them too, so they look away.

>>9121911
Fuck, even when it's at 95% and just a tiny sliver it still hurts to look at. Anybody who fried their eyes is a complete retard or did it on purpose.

>>9121916
Well that was over 12 hours ago. It was pretty cool how the sky was pretty dark, the areas I was in was cloudy but there was an open sky away form the sun and the sky looked like a blue/gray.

>>9121916

At most, you might have minor sunburn, which is temporary, just like on your skin.

>>9121920
Thanks man, I was so frantic all day because I had 4.5 hours of sleep and I didnt eat anything all day so iw as kind of a mess for a bit and looking at the eclipse, well what i only saw just freaked me out. I just looked at the amster grid and all lines and dots are in order so thats a reflief. How was the eclipse in your area?

i lov u sci

level 6 here :(

>>9121243
Someone explain this to me. I have looked directly at the sun when its not an eclipse, and haven't been blinded, but for some reason people are being blinded by looking at a partially obscured sun.
How does this work?

>>9121283
well done anon

When I was like 8 years old I looked at the sun through 3 pairs of sunglasses through the car window. I'm nearsighted but I don't remember if I was nearsighted before this.

>>9121924
Illinois here. The retards in Carbondale got cucked by clouds. Meanwhile here I am sitting in a park in the forest, with clear skies for the entire eclipse.

>>9121939
More visible light is blocked during the eclipse so pupils do not shrink as much. However, there is nearly the same amount of harmful ultraviolet light. Also Also, the visible light is less bright, so you're not prompted to squint and/or look away.

>>9121643
That's also not the right way to make a pinhole projector.

>>9121924

Nothing here. Moon and sun don't cross paths from my angle.

Sun has been nice and red/pink in the mornings, but that's normal.

I observed eclipse in 2015 in Moscow without any protection. Is it over for me and my eyes?

No you didn't. I can go outside RIGHT NOW and look at the august sun at full blast for "half a moment" and absolutely nothing will happen to me.
If half a moment of accidental exposure was enough to blind you everyone living southern europe would be blind.
You looked at it for a lot longer than that and we both know it.

Is looking at the eclipse more damaging to the eyes than looking at the sun under normal circumstances?

>>9122370
It's not damaging at all, if you look at it while it's fully hidden.
The difference is that nobody forces himself to stare at the sun continuously for a whole minute under normal circumstances.

I looked at the sun for the entire maximum and nothing happened. It hurt until I got that purple spot from looking at bright lights and then it didn't hurt anymore. Could see the actual eclipse once that happened, too, rather than just yellow sun. Spot went away after a few minutes.

UV is a nonionizing radiation that causes genetic mutations. It forms pyrimidine dimers (your DNA double bonds to itself) and the cell containing it must either repair itself (like skin sunburns, sometimes they can heal and won't peel) or it has to kill itself because it stops functioning properly.

Caught a glimpse of it from a reflection in a puddle and my eyes evaporated right out of my skull. Eyes grow back right?

The sun got BLACKED. Is this a sign that the age of white bois is coming to an end?

My left eye has felt a little strange since the eclipse, but I think there's a good chance it's actually got nothing to do with it. I was really tired and a bit worried at the time; I kept blinking and looking around to make sure I didn't hurt myself, so there was definitely a little eye strain. I'm pretty sure my left eye has actually been like this for a while and I just never noticed it until now (my eyes get worse every year or so anyway).

I never felt any pain except for immediately after looking at the eclipse like a retard.

>>9121247
>there is nothing the doctors can do
