Six Eclipse Viewing Glasses Recalled Due to Eye Injury Risk
Ahead of the solar eclipse on August 12, six models of eclipse viewing glasses have been recalled due to potential eye injury risks. The Ministry of Sanidad has warned that these glasses, from brands such as Lionstar and ECP Eye Care Professional, have filters that are too dark, leading users to remove them to see the eclipse, risking retinal damage. The recall emphasizes the importance of using ISO 12312-2:2015 compliant glasses for safe viewing. The demand for these glasses has surged, leading to shortages in pharmacies and optical stores.
