I Have a draft on the sandbox and am confused on how to get feedback. here is the link if this is the right place.

First and foremost, I would strongly recommend using the standard image formatting code found in the How to Write an SCP guide. This will shrink your current image from its somewhat egregious current size, which is needed right now. You should also make sure the image falls within the licensing requirements noted in that guide, since it seems to have a watermark that may suggest other ownership.
Item #:
Your section headers should be bolded, as per the standard format. The guide linked above has information on this too.
SCP-xxxx is to be kept in a containment cell of choosing, as long as no windows can view SCP-xxxx at any time. Doors must also have no windows or holes, as well as ceilings, floors or other surfaces. However, cameras are permitted.
This seems somewhat over the top when the thing can just be stuffed into a box and ignored. Excessive containment procedures tend to strain suspension of disbelief, which isn't exactly how you want to start an article off.
The method of how the retina is severed is not well understood, but is believed to be at the molecular level.
The second part of the sentence is disjointed from the first, as "molecular level" relates more to scale than method.
The strangest quality of SCP-xxxx is that naturally blind subjects can restore their vision by standing within a twenty meter radius of SCP-xxxx and temporarily see, even when leaving the area. (effect usually lasts about 2 hours.)
Explicitly stating that one part of the article is particularly strange strains clinical tone a bit, and I don't think this is necessarily weirder than retina-severing at a distance. Try to minimize in-article commentary where possible unless it's serving a storytelling purpose. Also, parenthetical statements should go inside the sentence they relate to.
The American Government has requested further research into SCP-xxxx to try and find a cure for natural blindness (Born with, disease caused, Etc).
But no other governments care? More seriously, this statement implies a very different relationship between the Foundation and national governments than most do, and might not be worth conflicting with convention unless you're telling a specific story about that.
The Main concern over SCP-xxxx is that if a containment breach were to occur, a blind retrieval team would have to be sent.
Main doesn't need to be capitalized here. It also feels a bit like in-article commentary as noted above. If this is a large concern, it probably belongs in containment procedures instead of at the end of the description.
SCP-xxxx appears to be made of plastic and has a clear ceramic casing. However, no one knows what holds the two together because of the fact that no bonding material, even residue, has been found,
This should probably go earlier in the description since it directly relates to the composition of the anomaly. Having it at the end really dulls any impact the article might have, since it's not particularly exciting or interesting.
Ultimately, the concept here just isn't that interesting. We see a lot of these "vaguely thematic magic object" articles, and it's very hard to do them in a satisfying way at this point. Most successful articles have some form of narrative included in them, even if it's not their primary focus. I would recommend running your concepts by the Ideas and Brainstorming section in the future, so you can catch problems related to this before drafting.
I hope that all helps, and feel free to ask any followup questions.
With the edits done, would you say that this is ready for uploading to the main site?
Since you didn’t address most of the problems I pointed out: No.
Are you sure about it being Euclid? You could just shove the fucker in a box and ignore it like Pedantique said. Speaking of boxes and object classes, try the box test next time. It goes like this:
If you put your SCP in a box, and nothing happens, it's safe.
If you put your SCP in a box, and nothing happens most of the time, but sometimes something does happen, it's euclid.
If you put your SCP in a box, and you burst into flames or are torn to shreds, then it's Keter.
Other classes are Thaumiel and maybe Apolloyon, but people are still arguing about the latter one. Thaumiels are extra-extraordinary objects, like time machines and a whole stretch of land that can create humans in a pinch. Apolloyon is a bit more shaky on definition, but how some like to interpret it is that it's an object that can absolutely fuck the entire human race, and can't be contained. But like I said, shaky.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, however, i disagree. the super glue scp (I dont remember the number, Sorry) that bonds things on a atomic level is Euclid, however, nothing bad happens as long as you dont use the glue.
Eh, if you're referring to SCP-170, the first SCPs around, and the entire first series, didn't have nearly as much quality control as modern SCPs do today. The writers also didn't have many guides to tell them what counts as what. Aim to model yourself after the newer series, as they are much more refined and selective. Check out the writing guide under the containment tab. That's your most up-to-date rating system. Other than that, good luck.
