Quote from EpicDealz :
Facepalm
If you're purchasing them in-store at Walmart (which is what this deal refers to), I'd confidently say they've done their due diligence to ensure safety.
Likely, one of the main reasons they're exclusively selling them in-store is to avoid confusion and prevent customers from inadvertently purchasing counterfeit products from third-party online sources.

I'm pleased to see people exercising caution when it comes to purchasing potential counterfeit solar eclipse glasses. There are countless unsafe options online that could seriously harm someone's eyes. However, in this instance, as long as you're not buying them from a third-party seller, everything should be in order.
Comfort

Doubt that .10 is due diligence my guy but sure Walmart did a great job sourcing these.

Get the glasses, put them on and peek at the sun. You should be able to look directly at it comfortably. If you have to look away because it's to bright, get different glasses.

Last solar eclipse, I ordered like 4 for $13, reputable company, recommended by space science websites. I needed to go to Walmart that solar eclipse day morning, and the same makers glasses were $1.50 each. Bought some, returned the Amazon order. We had a 70% eclipse. Worked fine, and my parents even looked cool in them :-).

Should we trust these to not practically blind us?

As much as I'd like to see the solar eclipse, i'm more worried about permanent eye damage from all these cheapo glasses out there. Risk vs Reward is not there for me.
I was on the road when I realized I would be in the path of the Eclipse back in October 2023. My only choice was to buy these at Walmart, and I can verify that the ones I bought in person that were these exact ones, they had both the October 2023 and April 2024 dates on them. They are ISO certified and I used them to look at the Eclipse. Coincidentally, I had my annual eye exam just a month ago and everything's perfect; no damage!

FYI in person they were $1.99, not $0.10. I think they're eating the loss on these to make sure everyone has a pair accessible to them!

Pro tip: Buy a couple extra and hand them out if you see people trying to look without glasses, I bought 2 extra and I think I saved a bunch of peoples' eyesight who shared the same pairs.

Don't think I'd trust something that cost 0.10 to protect my eyes from permanent blindness…

FYI: Loads of Walmarts have Solar Eclipse Glasses selling for $1.84/ea branded as "visionscientific safe eclipse viewer" and manufactured by American Paper Optics, which is one of the few approved manufacturers of safe eclipse glasses by the American Astronomical Society. These glasses clearly state they are ISO 12312-2 compliant and I personally will be using them.

However, regardless of where you find your ISO 12312-2 compliant solar eclipse glasses, or how much of a slick deal you get on them, it's probably best to exercise caution and manage risk. Your eyesight is important and fragile enough that taking multiple steps to protect it, using the "swiss-cheese" model of safety, is not a bad idea.

Before and after the totality phase of the eclipse, I will only be GLANCING through my safe eclipse viewers at the sun in the periphery of my vision, for a few seconds at a time.

Although, these solar eclipse glasses are super cheap and super deal, I want to suggest checking other places near you to see if you can get free solar eclipse glasses. I heard places like local libraries or town/city halls are giving away solar eclipse glasses for free. T-mobile Tuesday app was giving away solar eclipse glasses (regular plastic sun glasses with clip-on solar eclipse lens and a sun glasses bag) at T-mobile stores on Tuesday. You had to have an T-mobile T-life app to get those glasses on Tuesday, but the deal expired on Wednesday (yesterday) morning. When I went to get my pair at local T-mobile store on Tuesday with my T-mobile T-life app (= T-mobile Tuesday app), the employee told me to come back next day (yesterday) when I asked if I could get more glasses for my family. I went back yesterday and got additional 5 glasses to give to my family for free. My local store had more glasses to give away. Your local T-mobile store may have some glasses to give away for free if you ask nicely. (I asked if they had any solar eclipse glasses left.)

T-mobile glasses are quite nice since they are regular plastic sunglasses. You can use them after solar eclipse (or before).

Last time we used "free" with purchase glasses from Hardee's. We watched and all still have our vision. They are probably just clearing them out before no one wants them (not even for free). 10 cents is probably total production cost😆

*we're going to use them this time around too.
