Reddit mentions: The best eye safety protection accessories

Bought these over-glasses: NoCry Over-Glasses Safety Glasses - with Clear Anti-Scratch Wraparound Lenses, Adjustable Arms, Side Shields, UV400 Protection, ANSI Z87 & OSHA Certified https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071RSM598/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TYKvDbDWCQQKM

and this case: NoCry Storage Case for Safety Glasses with Felt Lining, Reinforced Zipper and Handy Belt Clip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073D44D8X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_C0KvDb42ABAVV

Wear over my standard size bifocals for shooting. Works great. Case good too.

Have you seen these? My guys like them, working outside of roofs; they fit snuggly, like ski goggles on the climbing helmets (which look like snowboarding helmets, so they have a 'shredder' vibe they like when suited up.) They come in clear and tinted.

I bought two orders of these. They're authentic, arrived perfect and not broken like anyone elses were. And Prime ftw!

65???? I'm a 65 and I have a huge head. Never found somebody (except my Dad) that big or bigger. Don't think that is a midpoint.

I bought this... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FJQGFE4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(It is accurate... I measured it with a real ruler after it arrived.)

I take people's measurements, and then set the IPD myself before having them put on the headset. People's first experience in VR should be as comfortable as possible!

Please get ISO rated safety glasses. A list can be found here. You can also use #14 welding tint glasses.

I ended up getting mine from one of these vendors on Amazon. It was 5 for $10.95. Looks like the price jumped to $34.99 because of the craze.

$25 for 5 They might be a little pricy, however if you get cheapy glasses they may not be rated to do their job. This site talks about good brands and provides a link to find good ones on amazon.

Edit: Yep, seems to be over priced (huge packs of many many) or out of stock. Lame.

I just got that same email, Amazon said we will get a refund tho so that is good. I went ahead and bought these.

These are on the NASA website of approved glasses.
https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

Edit: They are on back order but Amazon says they will have more on the 16th.

These are the cheapest I could find online. $40 for a 5-pack. Buy fast, though, because I'm sure the price will skyrocket once supply runs out. But if you can't get your hands on a pair, there are plenty of other methods like pinhole cameras, or using welding goggles as the other poster mentioned.

I ordered mine yesterday, from the place with the highest ratings but are out until the 15th. I assume it's the same one you're referring to here?

Yesterday I got a message from amazon along the lines of "good news, you will receive your glasses faster than expected" Amazon also went ahead and expedited the order to two day shipping for me without having to pay for it.

I am in a similar situation. Since the eclipse, which I viewed with ISO approved glasses, I have struggled with light sensitivity and blurry vision (that comes and goes at all distances...like my eyes can't focus) to a point where I develop eye strain by mid-day and headaches by the end of the day and occasional nausea in the morning when the blurriness is worst. I do not seem to have blind spots but I am seeing more floaters.

I posted some of this info with my one-star amazon review of the glasses, and I am not alone. Check out some of the other reviews there.

I did go to the Ophthalmologist on Friday, and - good news - they couldn't find any damage to my retinas. Bad news - I still don't know what's wrong with me and am afraid it won't get better (or may get worse).

Please post updates!

Just get a case for them like this

It's basically impossible to find the NASA approved brands from the actual manufacturer on Amazon, but Lunt Solar Systems uses one of the NASA manufacturers and rebrands them, and they are available here.

Here's a list of reputable vendors. And here is a link to the ones I ordered that are on that list. I've tested them out and they work fine.

Less than Amazon

Premium ISO and CE Certified Lunt Solar Eclipse Glasses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZPRB7L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YuoMzbCP5SS1G

Today's not in time?

Ordered these on Amazon.. they arrived today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NB09NHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_jDJKzbPDK8A1X. Might be able to get rush shipping if they aren't out. I also checked three Lowe's hardware and walmart. Sold out

If you're willing to throw down a few bucks, you can buy a five-pack of ISO-certified eclipse shades from Lunt (certified by the Americal Astronomical Society as well) on Amazon. It says out of stock right now but it's supposed to come back in stock tomorrow (17th) so with Prime you could still get it before Monday.

This one is stocked in the US. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NB09NHK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The cheapest I could find on the internet that were actually ISO certified were these. I bought them myself and they're coming in the mail today, I found them through NASA's website.

If you order them now and get the one day shipping, you might be able to get them in time. The prices for ISO certified eclipse glasses basically doubled on most of the websites a few months ago, so unfortunately they're insanely priced until after the eclipse.

Sure you will.

/But yeah, it's gettin' crazy for them things in pricing overall, seems!

Get an IPD ruler to measure properly, they're cheap. Then set it and forget it.

I politely disagree. I just bought some of these today, for delivery on Friday: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01NB09NHK/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

I bought them here.

I have a question in to the manufacturer. Do these look damaged to you? I don't see any light through them at night, even staring into a lamp, and only the sun during the day, but the wrinkles on the left side look weird.

These are due in stock Wednesday, prime shipping should get them to you before the weekend, if all else fails.

These are one of the ones on NASA's "verified actually safe" list, also. Paying $7 each isn't the best feeling, when they were like $2 each a few months back, but that's what we get for waiting! ((I just had to pay $5 each for mine, ordered last week because I was lazy and then forgot))
