$10 on Amazon. Yeah, it's too late to order from Amazon, but glass only is available.
> why only during an eclipse?
It is not only during a solar eclipse that staring at the sun is bad for your eyes. People just need to be reminded during a solar eclipse since staring directly at the sun is how you witness the event.
> Also, how can I protect myself without some fancy-dancy special glasses for 50 bucks?
Welding goggles can be found for less than $10. You should probably buy darker lenses, which can also be found for less than $10. I would suggest a #14 shade or higher.
It's been about a year since I bought them and I can't find the link to the ones I bought. But you can order [grade 14 welding lenses](50mm Circular Welding Lens, Green IR Shade 14 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006Y9USNK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UE2KzbA3ST65M) or goggles online.
Unfortunately, the cost has gone way up! I bought mine from, I think Phillips Welding, for $2.50 a lens.
I bought mine about a year ago just because I thought they'd be fun to have. It was a couple of dollars for five pairs. The wife and kids get those, but I get a nice big set of welding goggles (with lenses) because I'm a grown-ass man and I can do what I want, dammit.
