      Illuminat3d If you're being serious, DON'T. You can do serious damage to your eyes, and this has been proven with previous solar eclipses

    Mine doesn't have any certification, but when i look directly at the sun, it basically looks like the moon and everything else is dark. I highly doubt it can damage my eyes. It looks so dark as it is.

    I've been trying to tell people that the ISO# can also be faked too. But no one believes me.

      Sunglasses may be able to block light but it can't block all harmful radiation which came from look directly at the sun, because It's not design for that.

      For other people wondering:
      Sunglasses are designed for the small percentage of UV (and visible light) that bounces off the ground. Looking directly at the sun is FAR more intense.
      It's like the difference between being in your car looking at something lit by your bright headlights, vs staring directly into someone else's high beams. But 100 times more.

    I got some solar glasses from online they dont have the iso thing on them but when i put them on and turn my flashlight on my phone i see the same thing the women sees in the vid. Are the safe or not

      What she described is exactly what you're supposed to be seeing. Just the bulb; nothing else. Though I'd personally put more stock in checking whether the vendor you bought them from is legit vs a simple test like this. The test described here is basically just a sanity check, the tests vendors are required to pass in order to get the ISO certification are much more extensive.
