How to enjoy the most complete solar eclipse since 1989?

A rare and spectacular phenomenon. Next week's solar eclipse will reach up to 92% totality in France, carrying a significant risk to the eyes of those who gaze upon it. But not if you have the right gear. If I watch the eclipse without glasses, it can hurt my eyes. Specifically, special glasses with certified lenses that block out solar rays. You can find them at opticians, pharmacies and news kiosks. But be careful, they need to be certified. Even people who don't buy them at pharmacies can check that they meet the right standards. We've sold around 50 pairs since mid-July. To enjoy the show safely, first check these two logos, CE for European certification and the ISO 12312-2 rating. Previous eclipses have seen watchers get creative with their eye protection. A bad idea, according to ophthalmologists, as the consequences can be permanent. The cornea, the transparent front of the eyeball, can get sunburned, but the real danger is behind it. You can badly burn your retina without even feeling it, which can result in permanent vision damage. French health authorities are worried that stalks of the glasses could run out. So if you want to watch, don't wait until the last minute. They sell for around 3 to 6 euros each, a small price to pay to protect your sight.
