Eclipse Watchers in California Reportedly Put Sunscreen on Their Eyeballs

Some eclipse watchers reportedly put sunscreen on their eyeballs during last week's solar eclipse, in what appears to be a misguided effort to protect their eyes from sun damage.

According to KRCR, a local news outlet in Redding, California, a few patients visited a nearby clinic complaining of pain after they put sunscreen on their eyeballs during the eclipse on Aug. 21. They did this because they did not have protective glasses to view the eclipse, KRCR reported.

Well, if people are pouring boiling water on each other not knowing that it burns, then I don't doubt this happened.

Or did these leftists think because they can "change genders" whenever they want, they ignored this science, too, and believed the sunscreen would work? 10631

There was another thread on this a few days ago. I asked the mods to merge them but got no response.
