You may block enough visible light to make it so it feels okay, but let enough UV through to harm your retina, and you won't know until it's too late.

Given the results of said filter I don't know that I'd count on it to protect my vision looking directly at the sun.

I'm pretty sure focused solar IR on the retina could also be bad. And you wouldn't blink because you wouldn't feel it.

I don't think that blocks IR. So there might still be a risk.

This is not safe. Can work, but can also not work as floppy manufacturers don't really care about optical consistency. Please do not recommend anyone do this
