FAQs

Is it ever safe to remove solar eclipse glasses during an eclipse event?

During partial phases of an eclipse and annular eclipses, you must wear your Eclipse Shades® throughout the entire event.

During total eclipses, you can only remove your eclipse sunglasses during the full totality phase, which is the brief period when the moon blocks the entire sun. Even if the moon is blocking 99% of the sun, the remaining 1% is still bright enough that we recommend leaving your glasses on.

How can I be sure that my eclipse viewers are safe to use?

Look for solar eclipse glasses and viewers that meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard and come from a trusted supplier. Counterfeit and untested solar eclipse glasses with false certification claims appear on major online marketplaces. Rainbow Symphony is listed by the American Astronomical Society as a recommended supplier of solar viewers.

Where can I purchase genuine eclipse viewing products?

To ensure that you’re receiving genuine eclipse viewers, purchase them from a trusted source. Rainbow Symphony has been working on creating the safest eclipse viewing products since the 1990s, and we’ve worked closely with major experts in eclipse safety, not only to ensure that our products fully meet safety standards, but to help support the development of existing safety standards.
