Last time there was an eclipse, I took out my welding helmet (yes, I
did welding for some time) and could look at it without being
bothered. I didn't push my luck to look at it for more than few
seconds at a time though, but my vision has not decreased because of
it.

So guys, go get a welding helmet with the strongest glass!
