Never buy costume contact lenses from the store – it’s not worth the risk of permanent vision loss for one night. If you want to wear coloured lenses, get them from a Doctor of Optometry!

Solar Eclipse Safety Tips

There will be a total solar eclipse on August 21, between 1:10pm-3:49pm!! The last total solar eclipse visible in North America was in 1979, and the next one won’t be until 2024, so you won’t want to miss this one!

Here are some safety tips for viewing the eclipse:

– In Ontario, we will not be in the path of totality, so it will NOT be safe to look directly at the eclipse at any time.

– You must wear eclipse glasses with special filters. Here is a list of reputable vendors: https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

– Looking through binoculars, regular sunglasses, polarizing filters, and other home-made filters, etc, is NOT SAFE.

– While you may be able to find something to dim the sun to a “comfortable” viewing level, it may not block to whole spectrum, so you could be damaging your retinas with infrared radiation… and you wouldn’t notice until afterwards.
