Act fast: Save up to 50% on solar glasses for the total eclipse

We're just days away from a total solar eclipse in North America (April 8), and while we've already identified a binocular or telescope deal for those inclined, a pack of solar eclipse glasses will let you share the moment with those around you without breaking the bank — or needing to hog the optics for yourself.

Solar glasses are relatively cheap, but Amazon's latest deals make them even more affordable. You can grab a pack of two pairs for $14.99 from Soluna, offering abrasion-resistant coatings to help enjoy the show while bouncing ultraviolet and infrared light away. That's 25% off of the usual price.

If you've got a larger family, though, Medical King is offering a ten pack for just $9.99, a 50% saving that makes each pair just a dollar.

Remember: never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection.

The key things to look for in a pair of solar eclipse glasses are that they are safe and able to be used to look at the sun. This means they must achieve the International Standards Organization standards, which you'll see written as ISO 12312-2 on the listing and the glasses.

However, because there are some bogus dealers operating online you should also check to see if they appear on the American Astronomical Society's list of approved manufacturers to vouch that the glasses have been tested to the ISO standards.

You'll be pleased to know that both the solar glasses we've recommended here claim to meet ISO 12312-2 safety standards and appear on the AAS's approved list.
