Back in August of 2017, another solar eclipse took place across the U.S., and while it was only a partial eclipse in Northeast Ohio, many resident obtained solar eclipse viewing glasses, and may still have them around.
The question is – are they still safe to use to view the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8?
The answer is yes, as long as they are ISO Certified 12312-2, which will be printed on the inside of the glasses, and as long as they are not scratched or have any holes poked through the lenses.
