Here's how to wear solar eclipse glasses with your prescription lenses

Hey four eyes! Your eclipse glasses should be worn on top of your prescription eyeglasses.

That's according to an Indiana University professor.

“If you wear glasses, simply wear the eclipse glasses or hold the handheld solar viewer over your glasses,” advises Dr. Hin Cheung, assistant clinical professor at the Indiana University School of Optometry on the university website. “Cover your eyes with the solar filter before looking at the sun, and turn away from the sun before removing the solar viewer. Do not remove them while looking at the sun.”
