A total eclipse is even more rare, happening only once every 18 months. Still, depending on where you live, you may only ever see one or two total solar eclipses in your lifetime unless you travel to see one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, April 8, almost all of North America will experience a partial solar eclipse, and anyone within&nbsp;an approximately 115-mile-wide path&nbsp;can see a total solar eclipse. While this is an amazing opportunity to witness a unique natural event, knowing how to view a solar eclipse safely is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if you view a solar eclipse without proper protection?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a solar eclipse entails blocking the sun, it\u2019s only safe to look at it when wholly covered from view during the few moments of total coverage called the penumbra. \u201cDuring an eclipse, it will look quite dark because the moon is blocking the sun, but those sun rays still penetrate the dark,\u201d said ophthalmologist&nbsp;Rao Chundury, MD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThink of when you were a child using a magnifying glass to focus the sun\u2019s rays to burn something,\u201d said Dr. Chundury. \u201cThe same thing can happen to your eyes, and sun rays can burn your retina.\u201d Such burning is called solar retinopathy and can result in permanent damage and vision loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The macula \u2013 located in the center of the retina \u2013 is especially susceptible to solar retinopathy. An essential area of the retina, the macula controls central vision, which you need most for day-to-day tasks. Because of this importance, protecting your macula from the sun\u2019s harsh rays is vital, even during a solar eclipse. If any part of the sun is exposed, you must use eye protection specifically designed for solar viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to safely view a solar eclipse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour body does have some natural defenses to prevent against sun damage \u2013 like squinting or your pupil\u2019s constricting \u2013 but the sun\u2019s rays are too powerful, and these defenses aren\u2019t able to stop the harm sun rays cause,\u201d said Dr. Chundury. That\u2019s why you need something to protect yourself to view the eclipse safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe best method, in my opinion, is to use specifically designed solar view glasses or filters,&#8221; said Dr. Chundury. A specific ISO standard called ISO 12312-2 designates eyewear as safe for looking at the sun. Solar glasses and viewers with this international safety standard are the safest way to view the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo further promote the use of these proper solar glasses, NASA has teamed up with the American Astronomical Society to vet certain companies and ensure the standard they&#8217;re using is appropriate, and these companies are selling actual safety wear and not knockoffs,&#8221; said Dr. Chundury. You can find the list of approved glasses and viewers at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eclipse.aas.org\/eye-safety\/viewers-filters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eclipse.aas.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t gamble with your eyesight<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest misconception is that people feel they can use sunglasses or makeshift filters like smoke, glass, CDs, or exposed film to view an eclipse safely,&#8221; said Dr. Chundury. &#8220;While some of these materials might reduce the sun&#8217;s brightness, they&#8217;re insufficient to protect yourself against the kind of intense solar radiation that can damage your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
