eclipse glasses

Sun-blocking eyewear

Eclipse glasses are special eyewear with extremely dark filters that allow safe viewing of solar eclipses.

Unlike regular sunglasses, they block nearly all visible light and harmful radiation, protecting the retina from permanent damage during direct sun observation: Don't look at the eclipse without eclipse glasses.
