The August 12 solar eclipse is approaching, and your prescription glasses could complicate your plans: here's how to solve it

For the Aug. 12 solar eclipse, people who wear prescription glasses should test approved eclipse glasses in advance.

Big frames, clip-on filters, or contact lenses can improve fit and comfort while keeping eyes protected.

Check that the filters are in good condition and meet EN ISO 12312-2:2015 and CE marking requirements.

Using the wrong protection can cause irreversible retinal damage, so choosing the right setup is essential.
