Man With Eye Damage from 1962 Eclipse Gives Your 500th Warning About Looking at the Sun (Video)

In 1962 Lou Tomosoki made the mistake many seem to make during the solar eclipse when he looked directly at it, causing him to have 55 years of eye damage. Looking with his naked eye for “just a few seconds” earned him a burned retina, giving him a partial blind spot and random flashes in his vision.

So heed his warning and all the countless others! Get your fancy eclipse glasses, make your pinhole box thing, and don’t look directly at it, no matter how cool it is!
