Why certified glasses are essential
Looking at the Sun, even partially eclipsed, without suitable protection can cause severe and irreversible eye damage. Ordinary sunglasses — even very dark ones — do not protect you. Only glasses compliant with ISO 12312-2 allow safe direct observation of the Sun.
Safety instructions
- Inspect your glasses before each use; never use them if they are scratched, punctured or damaged.
- Children must be supervised at all times during observation.
- Never look at the Sun through a camera, binoculars or a telescope while wearing these glasses: the concentrated rays would pass through the filter and cause serious injury.
- Only remove your glasses when you are no longer looking towards the Sun.
