I also noticed after using them with my actual glasses, that it warns not to use them with other optical devices
I think that’s just because wearing them over regular glasses creates a bigass gap. I tried it for a second this time around before thinking better of it.
Well, you could put the glasses over the eclipse thingers.... But that would just focus the light right into the eclipse lenses and probably would make them not work so well. IDK.
I'm just some guy. Not like I work with optics for a living.
My only complaint was that, during totality (I was in the path), we couldn't see anything through the eclipse thingers. That's the part I wanted to see, and.... Nothing. Do I need two sets of these? One for totality, and one for the rest of the damn time?
You take off the glasses during totality. Only during totality is it safe to look.
I just fact checked this and apparently you're right.

"You can view the eclipse directly without proper eye protection only when the Moon completely obscures the Sun’s bright face – during the brief and spectacular period known as totality. (You’ll know it’s safe when you can no longer see any part of the Sun through eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.)"
