About Thousand Oak's Solar Film Used in These Glasses
BLACK POLYMER: Exclusive Thousand Oaks Optical formula developed solely for SAFE solar observation. Unlike metallized Mylar (commonly used in food packaging), this polymer film gives a SHARP pleasing orange image versus unnatural pale blue. Mylar also reflects your eyes in the mirror like surface making it difficult to see the sun. And contrary to claims by some manufacturers, two layers does not guarantee no pinholes in the coatings. Simply hold a Mylar viewer at arms length, close to a light bulb, to see this defect. The protective properties of this Black Polymer are throughout the substrate so there is never a concern about safety.

They have been making these products for over 35 years, and their products have been used by NASA aboard the Space Shuttle. Other professional users include: ABC, BBC CBS, NBC, CNN, NOVA, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic and most major universities and observatories throughout the world.
Warning
Never look at the sun without special eye protection. When viewing the eclipse, use this viewer at all times when any part of the sun is visible. For direct, unmagnified viewing only. Do not look into an unfiltered telescope with this viewer.

Aug 24, 2017Eclipse Viewing Glasses
Pros: Cons: Comments:We had a great time viewing the eclipse with these glasses. Our local vendors ran out of these and we gave a few friends a pair since we got a 5 pack. It made me feel safe knowing that these came from a telescope supply company, especially since other online vendors had dangerous fake imitation glasses that were causing eye damage. We ordered well in advance, but the products we ordered came in a timely manner and were in new condition when they arrived. Thank you for giving us a safe way to view the solar eclipse!
