 Eclipse Optics, formerly Eclipse Glasses USA, a leading supplier of ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses based in Utah, is thrilled to announce the successful completion of a large-scale sorting event held this past weekend. The event was organized to process the hundreds of thousands of eclipse glasses donated to Eclipse Optics following the April total solar eclipse.


The sorting effort was spearheaded by Kobi Bons, who chose this project as the focus of his Eagle Scout initiative. With Kobi's leadership and vision, the event drew over 100 community volunteers, all eager to contribute their time and energy to a cause that will positively impact students around the world.


Throughout the day, volunteers meticulously sorted, inspected, and packaged the donated eclipse glasses. Thanks to their dedication and attention to detail, 65,000 pairs of ISO-compliant eclipse glasses in good condition were salvaged and are now set to be distributed to schools in South America and Africa. This brings the total number of donated glasses to an impressive 150,000 pairs.


These glasses will enable 150,000 students to safely experience upcoming solar eclipses, including those occurring in October of this year, as well as in 2025 and 2026. This initiative not only promotes astronomical education but also fosters a global sense of unity and shared experience.


Eclipse Optics extends its heartfelt thanks to those who donated and participated in this event. Their support has made a significant difference in bringing the wonders of astronomy to students across the globe.
