Hate to burst you bubble (or retinas) but welding helmets offer no protection during an eclipse. But you said you looked while the sun was covered. You should be okay.....
So, Lester Holt does not know what he's reporting about? Good for you. It takes days for the vision to start showing symptoms. Keep us posted.....
I looked at it at times thru a welding helmet. That's the only way to go . That glass is very dark. Anyway, I saw it covering 1/4 of the sun......then covering 1/2 of the sun, but didn't see the 80 % that we were supposed to get. It got a little dusky here, but not as dark as it got in 1959 when I was 10 yrs old. Good practice for when the eclipse comes around again in 2024. I should still be around then if I don't get cancer again, b/c the life expectancy for a woman is now 82. It's 78 for a man.

Welding glass does NOT offer near enough protection. Learned this on a special news report. Sorry
Mycatsmom continues to post here on akaQA. It seems here sight is not waning since after using her welding helmet to watch the eclipse. LOL
