Foreman agreed that looking directly at the sun is “not a thing to do if you’re going to look at it,” before stressing the need for protective eyewear that is made specifically for viewing eclipses.. “Make sure they’re not scratched or wrinkled or anything that would let those harmful rays get in and damage your eyes,” Foreman added. ”Likewise, don’t try to look through a camera, telescope, binocular, sunglasses without other filters already in place on those, because those can just concentrate the light and they can still damage your eyes.”.
