Eye safety
Protect your eyes before and after totality.
Except during the brief phase of complete totality, viewing the Sun requires specialized solar protection.
- Use eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer that complies with the ISO 12312-2 international standard.
- Regular sunglasses are not safe, no matter how dark they are.
- Cameras, telescopes and binoculars need a suitable solar filter secured over the front of the optics.
- Do not look through unfiltered optics while wearing eclipse glasses.
- A partial-eclipse city has no phase that is safe to view without protection.
