Where can I get some fake sunglasses? (That look normal, but really are just plastic and don't let any light through.) (self.Blind)

blackout bands.
they have two kinds of shades with 95-98% light blocked. i have no ligjt perception with those, and the reactions of sighted people i’ve loaned those for testing have been interesting.

Can you elaborate on the reactions? It just sounds interesting.

NOIR lenses are what you are wanting, and depending on your country there may be many options. Google will give a large selection

Even the absolute darkest of noir's low vision line (while extremely dark) still allows light through. If you're somewhere bright and sunny it's totally possible to see through them.
If they're looking for sunglasses because they're extremely sensitive to light, noir is definitely the place to go. They have many colors and strengths for different eye conditions and indoor and outdoor use.
If they want sunglasses that allow them to "simulate complete blindness" or something, I don't think any of them would be strong enough with bright lighting.

Blackout bands would be close to the simulation I think. They are supposed to leave a faint light perception, with the 95-98% of all light blocked. Depending on what light is around, so if it’s indoors in the dark, it’ll be essentially nothing. Or in superbright sunshine they might leave a faint red and clue of where there’s some light.
