⚠ Solar Viewing Safety Notice
These solar eclipse glasses are designed for direct viewing of the Sun only when used correctly. Children must be supervised at all times. Always inspect the lenses before use and do not use if damaged, scratched, or punctured.

HelioView means “Sun Viewing” — a clear, science-led name for solar eclipse glasses designed specifically for safe direct observation of the Sun during solar eclipses and other major solar events. These glasses are manufactured by a supplier that appears on the American Astronomical Society (AAS) list of reputable solar eclipse glasses manufacturers, and are produced to recognised international solar viewing safety standards.
HelioView Solar Eclipse Glasses use ISO 12312-2 compliant solar filters to significantly reduce harmful ultraviolet, infrared, and intense visible light, allowing the Sun to be viewed comfortably when the glasses are used correctly and inspected before use.
🔍 Black vs Silver Solar Lenses – What’s the Difference?
Solar eclipse glasses are commonly available with either black or silver solar lenses. While both types can meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard when properly certified, there are important practical differences in durability and viewing comfort.
✔ Why Helio-View Uses Black Solar Lenses
Helio-View Solar Eclipse Glasses use premium black solar lenses with a thickness of 0.16 mm. This is significantly thicker than standard silver lenses (typically around 0.05–0.10 mm), providing improved scratch resistance, better transmittance uniformity, and a more comfortable viewing experience during prolonged solar observation.
Black solar lenses are widely regarded as the preferred choice for astronomy clubs, schools, museums, and organised public viewing events due to their consistent optical performance and robust construction.
✔ Safety First — No Compromise
Both black and silver solar lenses can be equally safe when ISO 12312-2 certified. Helio-View glasses are designed to:
