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.
