Question 1

can i use these glasses to look at the eclipse?  thank you.

Accepted Answer

No. These are simply sunglasses that are large enough to fit over prescription glasses. The lenses are NOT strong enough to filter the bright light of the sun's corona or the sudden reemergence of the sun itself.

Question 2

what is the model number? I'm looking for 2301E

Accepted Answer

I purchased Solar Shield fit-over sunglasses several times.  Like them because the frame blocks out bright sunlite at sides and top.  More expensive numbers are ok but I found that lenses can pop out sometimes when the glasses are dropped, tho lenses can be reinserted fairly easily.  More expensive frames seem to be more fragile, especially earpieces.  I had better results with the cheaper numbers, 29003A and 29008A.  Lenses don't pop out and frames are more sturdy.  Yes, they look kinda cheap, but they sure do last better than the more expensive choices.  I will purchase these same two numbers again.

Question 3

Are the appropriate for viewing the eclipse?

Accepted Answer

That isn't the one we got so I don't know.  Ours are light cardboard glasses and inside they have the correct markings:  Model #HBY17019 and claim to conform to requirements of EN ISO 12312-2:2015 and EN1836:2005.  I think this means they're okay.

Question 4

Are these sunglasses polarized?  The text says "non-polarized" and "Polarized Lenses and 100% UV Protection."  Which is correct?  Thanks

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I don't know.  My husband wears them while driving and the windshield has the UV protection.
