The next solar eclipse is a week from today, Monday August 21. For Rhode Islanders, this will be a "partial" eclipse taking place between approximately 1:30pm and 4:00pm.
Solar eclipse glasses with ISO 12312-2 certification or a welding shield with protective shade 14 are the only way to watch the eclipse and mitigate the risk of vision loss. These devices, if authentic and not compromised, block out 99.999% of visible light--- you can’t see ANYTHING through them except the sun. The glasses are many times darker and stronger than your darkest pair of sunglasses, so don’t even think about trying to use one or multiple sunglasses to look.
The real danger in looking at the sun during an eclipse is that the eclipse makes it possible to gaze for more than a moment. Because so much of the sun’s light is blocked by the moon, if one looks at it without full protection, it does not cause pain as looking at the sun does on a regular day. Just like sunburn to the skin, the effects are not felt or noticed immediately.
As the eclipse passes, the moon will block 59 to 99% of the sun. For a city like Providence, which is not in the path of totality, there will be no time where it is safe to view the eclipse without the solar filter.
Consider using a device that will allow you to INDIRECTLY view the eclipse. Keep your eyes and vision safe and away from the sky. If you or a loved one requires care as a result of the eclipse, call our office ASAP for a same-day emergency visit.
