Bull. I've got a sextant with filters on it that allows you to look directly at the sun.



I suspect the problem is that today a lot of eyeglasses are made using prefabricated lenses. Tints are standardized and stocked in a warehouse. Blame the inexpensive 1 hr Eyeglass shops for that revolution.

From past experience, I do know that opticians are wary about supplying extra dark tints. You may have to wave any satisfaction guarantee.
