Eclipse glasses 2027
Cardboard glasses and phone filter
To watch the eclipse with the glasses and photograph it with your phone: a pair of cardboard glasses and a camera filter.
What it is and what it’s for
The glasses are the certified cardboard ones (model EVA003169) and the filter is the phone-camera one.
The certificate covers the glasses. The filter is not for your eyes: it goes in front of the camera.
What’s inside
One pair of cardboard glasses and one solar filter for your phone’s camera
How to use it
- Glasses on while you look at the Sun.
- Filter in front of the camera while you take the photo, always looking at the screen.

Safety warnings
- Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, not even for a second: retinal damage doesn’t hurt and can be permanent.
- Check the filters before each use. If they are scratched, holed or coming loose, don’t use them.
- Don’t use them for more than 3 minutes at a time: look in spells and rest in between.
- Never look through binoculars, telescopes or cameras with them.
- They are not for driving or for looking at anything other than the Sun.
- Children, always with an adult.
- Don’t look at the Sun through the filter: it is for the camera, not for your eyes.
- Look at your phone’s screen, never at the Sun.
- Don’t use it with cameras that have an optical viewfinder.
- Meant for people over 18.
- Throw it away if it is damaged and, in any case, after 3 years.
