Looked at sun w/ suspicious glasses
I tried out these eclipse glasses, which were bought at a 99-cent store. I only stared at the sun for at most 10 seconds and there was no discomfort. They seemed to 'blot' out the light well. But I am concerned there may have been damage done, symptoms which I will only see later. Is this a legitimate concern? what can I do to ease my mind?

Hello
A. If you viewed the eclipse with latest eclipse glasses ISO 12312.2, then there is nothing to worry
B. Symptoms usually start early... If you are comfortable now then it is unlikely to get symptoms later on
C. If you still have concerns then you can get Oct scan of your fovea... And macular function tests
