Why do you need eclipse glasses?
Answer: Eclipse glasses are specially designed to protect your eyes when viewing the sun during a solar eclipse. Staring at the sun, even when it’s partially covered by the moon during an eclipse, can cause permanent damage to your eyes, leading to solar retinopathy or other eye injuries. Eclipse glasses have a special solar filter that blocks out most of the sun’s harmful rays, allowing you to safely observe the eclipse without damaging your eyes. It is crucial to wear eclipse glasses whenever you are looking directly at the sun during an eclipse to protect your vision and prevent any potential eye damage. Remember, safety first when observing solar events like eclipses!
