   Can I wear glasses during a solar eclipse?

   • Zavislan: No. Glasses or sunglasses, whether polarized or not, do not sufficiently attenuate the sun’s light for direct viewing during a solar eclipse when any bright part of the sun is visible. If you are in a region that will experience totality, the sun’s corona will be visible during totality.

   Do solar eclipse glasses work?

   • Sunglasses won’t work in place of eclipse glasses or solar viewers, which are 100,000 times darker and held to an international safety standard.

   Why can't I see the sun through my eclipse glasses?

   • If you can see that light, your eclipse glasses aren’t strong enough. If you try this and can’t see the light, try looking at something brighter like a bare lightbulb. This should appear dim through a safe solar lens. If that works, you can try glancing at the Sun through your eclipse glasses.

   Apr 4, 2024 · The dark film in eclipse glasses is a type of solar filter, meaning it is meant for viewing the sun. While some solar filters are designed to make one specific wavelength of light visible, eclipse glasses fall into a category called neutral density filters. That means they dim light across all wavelengths.

    Sep 7, 2023 · If you’re watching a total solar eclipse, the only time you can safely look directly at it without eclipse glasses is during the totality phase, when the Moon is completely blocking the Sun. You’ll know this is happening when the whole sky gets dark.
