Rochester, N.Y. – As the eclipse frenzy continues to build, the News10NBC Team is here to provide breaking News, Traffic, and Weather updates for all those eager to witness this rare celestial event.

With the eclipse just around the corner, it’s essential for spectators to ensure they have proper eye protection. To help differentiate between real and fake Eclipse Glasses, a tutorial has been released for residents in Rochester, N.Y.

Real eclipse glasses are made of black polymer that blocks both infrared and UV light. Look for reflective lenses on the outside and black on the inside, as well as the ISO seal and the number 12312-2. American Paper Optics is a major manufacturer of Authentic Eclipse Glasses, making them a reliable choice for viewers.

On the other hand, fake glasses may use the names of legitimate manufacturers without listing their address. The American Astronomical Society recommends buying glasses only from vetted vendors on their site to avoid purchasing counterfeit glasses, which can cause permanent damage to vision.

To learn more about how to protect your eyes during the eclipse, visit the American Astronomical Society website for additional information. Stay safe and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience with the proper eye protection!
