It's been made crystal clear by professionals, scientists, and of course, concerned parents, that you are under no circumstances supposed to look at the sun mid-eclipse with your naked eye. In fact, even glancing at it for a few seconds during a partial phase could cause eye damage.

That's a pretty terrifying warning, so it makes sense that even after viewing the eclipse with proper protective eyewear, people are concerned.

In reality, you probably have nothing to worry about. Safe eclipse viewing shouldn’t cause headaches, and any discomfort you're experiencing is most likely from being outside in the bright sun, using unfamiliar glasses. Eyes were also likely strained while looking up towards the sky, so maybe chill with the Googling for a bit and see how you feel later in the day, okay?

And if you're freaking out, just imagine what President Trump's head is feeling like ... after all, he didlook directly at the solar eclipse without protective eyewear.
