Testing your eclipse sunglasses

Got your sunglasses for Monday’s eclipse yet?

You can stop into Sirgany Eyecare in Cortland and grab a pair free (while supplies last)!

Theirs are certified safe…there’s also a three-step test you can do to make sure your eclipse glasses are legit according to Scientific American:

  • Put them on indoors and look around.  You should only be able to see very bright lights like a halogen bulb or an iPhone flashlight shined directly at you.
  • Take them outside but don’t look at the sun yet.  It should be too dark to see distant hills, trees or even the ground.
  • Take a quick glance at the sun.  It shouldn’t hurt at all.  You should be able to comfortably look at the sun and see a bright, sharp-edged disk.

Happy (safe) viewing! 🌒😎
