WEAR CERTIFIED GLASSES

When viewing the solar eclipse, it's crucial to protect your eyes with certified solar viewing glasses. These glasses are specially designed to block harmful solar radiation and meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. At Black Optical, we're excited to offer complimentary certified eclipse glasses at all our showrooms, ensuring you have safe eye protection for the eclipse.

SUPERVISE 

CHILDREN

Children are particularly vulnerable to eye damage during the eclipse, so it's essential to supervise them closely. Educate children about the dangers of looking directly at the sun and ensure they wear proper eye protection. By supervising children and teaching them about eclipse safety, we can help prevent eye injuries and ensure a safe viewing experience for the whole family.

TAKE 

BREAKS

While watching the eclipse can be an exciting experience, it's essential to give your eyes regular breaks to prevent strain and discomfort. Set a timer to remind yourself to take breaks from viewing the eclipse, especially if you plan to observe it for an extended period. By taking breaks and resting your eyes, you can enjoy the eclipse safely and comfortably.

1.

DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT SUN

One of the most important rules of eclipse viewing is never to look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. The intense solar radiation emitted during an eclipse can cause permanent eye damage or blindness. Protect your eyes by wearing certified solar viewing glasses whenever you look at the sun, even during a partial eclipse.

2.

AVOID COUNTERFEIT GLASSES

Beware of counterfeit eclipse glasses that may not provide adequate protection from harmful solar radiation. Always ensure that your eclipse glasses are certified to meet safety standards and bear the ISO 12312-2 certification mark. Using uncertified or counterfeit glasses can put your eyes at risk, so it's essential to obtain genuine, certified eclipse glasses from trusted sources.

3.

DON'T USE CAMERAS OR BINOCULARS

Avoid using cameras, binoculars, or telescopes to view the eclipse without proper solar filters. These devices can magnify the sun's rays and cause serious eye injury if not equipped with the appropriate protective measures. Instead, use indirect viewing methods like a pinhole projector or solar telescope to safely observe the eclipse without risking eye damage.
