Buy Glasses for the 2019 Solar Eclipse

Eclipse watchers will again be able to view the awe-inspiring phenomenon of a total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019. A select few areas in South America will have the opportunity to watch this great event when the path of totality will cross their area caused by the Moon completely covering the Sun.

Eclipse watchers should order their glasses for the solar eclipse early to ensure they get theirs in time.

2019 Solar Eclipse

The 2019 solar eclipse will occur on July 2nd with the narrow path of totality crossing portions of Chile and Argentina. If you are in the South Pacific Ocean, then you would also be able to view the total eclipse.

People who are not in the path of totality will be able to view a partial solar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is when the Sun is only partially covered by the Moon.

Protect Your Vision with Tested and Certified Glasses for Solar Eclipse Viewing

Total solar eclipses are rare, special events. The moon passes in front of the sun and temporarily blocks out its life-giving light. However, the same energy which gives life can also hurt your eyes if you do not protect them with properly. Glasses for solar eclipse viewing must meet certain standards if they are going to provide the protection neccesary. Here are some important features of the best eclipse glasses available.

Approved Glasses for Solar Eclipse Events

The top companies make sure their glasses protect you from 100-percent of the suns's ultraviolet light. They also block out 99.999-percent of intense visible light.

The best glasses give you a pleasant viewing experience, while also protecting your eyes. However, this kind of protection is not assured unless it is backed by organizations like the International Organization of ISO and CE. The ISO is the International Standards Organization, and they set safety standards all over the world. They do not put their name to anything unless it passes all the required tests. Similarly, the CE (European Conformity) is similar to ISO, and covers the European market.

Check Labels

You know your viewers are safe when you see things like "CE" on the products. Look for phrases like "Conforms and meets the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2 filters for direct observation of the sun". If you do not see these things, you may not have the right kind of protection.
