Hello, sorry if this is not allowed here.

But I am planning on watching the eclipse here in the UK and I was testing my welding mask on the sun thinking it was dark enough, and it seemed fine whilst I was doing it. Then I found out my mask is only Shade 10.

I have already stared at the sun for 20-30 seconds, are my eyes buggered? Google says I am but it always says the worst case scenario.

Thanks.
