How can we help you?

Solar eclipse glasses are specialized eyewear designed to safely view the Sun during a solar eclipse. Unlike regular sunglasses, they contain special-purpose solar filters that block out 99.999% of the Sun's intense light, allowing only a tiny, safe amount to reach your eyes. This makes it possible to look directly at the Sun without risking serious eye damage.

Absolute Eclipse EU glasses feature a superior dual-layer Silver-Black polymer filter for uncompromising protection. This advanced system works in two critical ways:

1. Infrared Reflection: The outer silver polymer layer is a highly reflective shield that blocks dangerous infrared (IR) radiation. This is crucial because IR can burn the sensitive cells in your retina without you feeling any pain, leading to permanent eye damage.
2. Visible Light Filtering: The inner black polymer layer is infused with specialized carbon particles that filter the intense visible sunlight down to a safe and comfortable level for your eyes.

This dual-layer combination not only ensures your eyes are completely protected but also provides a sharper, more pleasant viewing experience by rendering the Sun in a natural, crisp orange color.

Yes. As a European manufacturer, our glasses meet the highest safety regulations. They are CE-certified and have been independently tested and verified to meet theEN ISO 12312-2:2015international safety standard. They also comply fully withEU PPE Regulation 2016/425.

To guarantee you have a genuine product, every pair of our glasses includes a uniquescratch-off QR code. Scanning this code instantly verifies the authenticity of your glasses and provides access to the official compliance and testing documents for your specific batch.

Yes! Solar eclipse glasses can be reused as long as they remain in good condition and within their recommended lifespan.

Before each use, carefully inspect the filters and frames for scratches, punctures, separation, or other visible damage. If any defects are found, do not use them.

For safety and regulatory compliance, the recommended replacement period is 3 years from the production date, even if the glasses appear undamaged.

You can check the exact expiration date of your glasses by scanning the code or entering the serial number on our authenticity portal:

Hold your glasses up to a bright indoor light source. Look for any scratches, pinholes, punctures, tears, or areas where the filter is separating from the cardboard frame. If you see any damage at all, no matter how small, discard the glasses immediately.

Yes, but they must be under strict adult supervision at all times. Ensure the glasses fit the child's face properly and that they understand the rule: never remove the glasses while looking at the Sun.

Our glasses are certified to meet the EN ISO 12312-2:2015 standard for filters for direct observation of the Sun and comply with Europe's stringent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation 2016/425.

Regular sunglasses are completely unsafe for solar viewing. Our eclipse glasses are thousands of times darker and are equipped with certified filters designed to block 99.999% of visible light plus all harmful UV and IR radiation. Sunglasses lack this specialized protection.

The only time it is safe to look at the Sun without certified eye protection is during the brief period of totality within a total solar eclipse. This is when the Moon completely blocks the Sun's bright face. The moment any part of the Sun begins to reappear, you must immediately put your eclipse glasses back on.

Yes. Our eclipse glasses are perfect for safely observing the Sun at any time, allowing you to view sunspots and other solar phenomena. The same safety rules always apply: inspect them for damage before every use.

The lenses are made from polymer infused with carbon particles and coated with a thin layer of aluminum. This dual-layer construction is specifically engineered to block harmful solar radiation, providing safe solar observation while maintaining clear and comfortable viewing.

Although ISO 12312-2 specifies the optical requirements for solar filters, EU regulations require a recommended lifespan for consumer safety.

Our solar eclipse glasses have a recommended replacement period of 3 years from the production date, even if the filters appear undamaged.

Before each use, always inspect the lenses and frames for scratches, punctures, or other damage. Damaged glasses must not be used.

Discard them immediately. Do not attempt to repair them. Even a tiny scratch or pinhole can let in a dangerous amount of solar radiation. Your eyesight is invaluable; it is not worth the risk.

Yes. Our glasses provide the necessary protection for all types of solar eclipses—partial, annular, and total. You must wear them for the entire duration of partial and annular eclipses, and during all the partial phases of a total eclipse.

Store them in a protective sleeve or an envelope to prevent scratches and punctures. Keep them in a cool, dry place and avoid creasing the lenses. Gentle handling and proper storage will ensure they remain safe for future use.

• Partial Eclipse: The Moon only covers a part of the Sun.
• Annular Eclipse: The Moon is farther from Earth and appears smaller, so it does not completely cover the Sun, leaving a bright "ring of fire" visible.
• Total Eclipse: The Moon completely blocks the Sun's surface, revealing its faint outer atmosphere, the corona.

The Sun emits intense infrared and ultraviolet radiation that can burn the light-sensitive cells in your retina, a condition called solar retinopathy. This damage occurs without any sensation of pain and can result in permanent blind spots, distorted vision, or complete blindness.

Genuine, CE-certified Absolute Eclipse EU glasses are available exclusively through our official website and a network of authorized retailers. To ensure you are buying an authentic, safe product, always purchase from an official source and verify your glasses with the unique scratch-off QR code.
