Tomorrow I'm wondering what the popularity in "eye doctor appointment" would be. It makes sense to get a little paranoid even if you only took a glance for a half second but those looking specifically to see a doctor are the ones that probably fucked up their vision.
Man, Google trends is pretty amazing. Not only can it do stuff like this, but it helps with other stuff like tracking diseases based on symptoms that people google.
I was talking to my optometrist last thursday about the eclipse and he said he expected a lot of people (mainly kids) with eye injuries from looking at it unprotected.
Apparently the 1979 eclipse led to a lot of studies on eye injuries caused by looking at the sun.
