If you’re on the hunt for eclipse viewing glasses or equipment before the April 8 eclipse, you may find they’re in short supply.Ophthalmologist Dr. Kyle MacLean with the LaserCare Eye Center tells NBC 5 that consumers should view the eclipse with proper eye protection.
“Anybody can print on eclipse glasses that their product meets that standard. How do you know that it really does? The only way to know for sure is that it's gotten tested,” said Dr. Fienberg.of suppliers and distributors of solar viewing glasses and equipment. Fienberg said he asks for test results from a lab, accredited to test for compliance with the ISO standard for solar viewers, before adding a manufacturer or distributor to the list.
“Our advice to people is don't just randomly search for eclipse glasses of any type or solar viewers of any type online, and buy from the first thing that pops up or the cheapest thing that pops up,” said Dr. Fienberg. For children, Dr. MacLean said to make sure any solar eclipse viewing glasses fit, “You want to make sure their eyes are completely covered by the filters. There's not going to be sun that's leaking in from the edge or from the middle of the glasses.”
