Partnership with Prevent Blindness Ensures Safe Viewing

Last-Minute Locations for Glasses

As the highly anticipated solar eclipse approaches on April 8, a vision care company has teamed up with the nonprofit organization Prevent Blindness to provide thousands of free solar eclipse glasses to the public. These specially designed glasses allow for safe viewing of the celestial event, protecting eyes from the sun's harmful rays.

To find distribution locations for the free eclipse glasses, the public can check online resources and contact local libraries and hardware stores. Many public libraries are participating in the STAR Library Network, which is distributing over 13,000 glasses to libraries across the country. Other potential locations include science museums and astronomy clubs.
