The Need of Eye Protection during the Solar
Eclipse

Exposing your eyes to the Sun without solar
eclipse glasses or proper eye protection during
the eclipse will cause eclipse blindness or
retinal burns. This is called Solar retinopathy.
The eye damage mainly affects the retina that is
back of the eye. The damage can be temporary or
permanent without pain. We can lose our eyesight
while looking directly the Sun in the Solar
eclipse. The damage can be realized from few
hours to few days. So use best eclipse viewing
glasses to protect your eyes.

What are the symptoms that can occur while
looking at the solar eclipse with naked eyes?

• The loss of central vision
• Altered color vision
• Distorted vision
• These are the main symptoms occur when we watch
  the sun
• directly in Solar eclipse. If you feel any of
  these symptoms after watching the eclipse please
  do visit an eye care specialist and seek
  treatment.

Can we use Sunglasses instead of solar eclipse
glasses?

• According to NASA, the following materials
• cant be used for a solar eclipse
• Sunglasses
• Colour film
• Medical X-Ray film
• Floppy disks
• The above materials do not have the power to
  block the UV rays. Therefore, wearing these kinds
  of materials in the time of the solar eclipse
  will cause eye blindness. If you are not a DIY
  person then everybody suggests that buy best
  solar eclipse glasses from shops.

How to watch Solar eclipse safely

• The only time you see the eclipse without any eye
  protection is during the total solar eclipse. In
  a total solar eclipse, the moon entirely covers
  the sun, but do with care while watching this.
  But in the case of the partial solar eclipse or
  an annular solar eclipse, there is no safe time
  to watch the eclipse without proper eye
  protection. The common ways to watch the solar
  eclipse will add below.
• Solar Eclipse glasses
• Pinhole Projection
• Welders glass
• Using filters

In the above, all to watch the entire eclipse
without any problems use Solar eclipse glasses.
The Solar eclipse glasses have two part one is
the paper or plastic glass and the second part is
dark lenses. These dark lenses will block the UV
rays and IR rays. The solar eclipse glasses can
be made in our home, but experts say that buy a
new pair of solar eclipse glass. Because if any
damage while making the eclipse glass at home
will lead to eye damage. There are lots of online
sites giving secure solar eclipse glasses. If you
are planning to view the eclipse with your family
or with your friends it's better to buy the solar
eclipse glasses wholesale. For safety dont use
any sunglasses or other types of materials use
eclipse glasses or use filter lenses to capture
the moment.  I hope it Helps!!!
