Solar Eclipse Safety: Protect Your Eyes
The total solar eclipse on August 12 is approaching, and experts warn against watching it without certified solar eclipse glasses. Knock-off glasses and homemade filters can cause serious eye injuries. Only glasses meeting the international standard ISO 12312-2 offer sufficient protection. Direct observation without appropriate protection can cause irreversible damage to vision. Use certified glasses or indirect methods like pinhole cameras to safely watch the eclipse.215 sourcesSee all sources
