Are eclipse glasses safe? How safe are eclipse glasses? How do they test eclipse glasses?

Properly protecting your eyes during a solar eclipse is crucial for avoiding long-term damage to your vision. In anticipation of the total solar eclipse happening in Rochester, New York, on April 8, 2024, James Zavislan, a professor of optics and of biomedical engineering and an associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Rochester, wants everyone to understand the risks involved and how to have a safe, enjoyable eclipse experience.

Zavislan, who studied and currently teaches at the Institute of Optics, has devoted his career to studying light, and is an expert in optical system analysis and optical engineering. He explains how the sun’s light affects your eyes, how solar eclipse glasses prevent damage, and why you probably shouldn’t dust off your old eclipse glasses to reuse this April. Along the way, he offers helpful tips to have a memorable viewing experience.
