This set is an awesome value. There are 5 in my family, and 5 pairs of glasses. We are getting ready for the total eclipse of 2017 and these are just what we needed. I tried them out by looking at the sun; this is the first time in my 38 years I have actually seen the sun. It is so much smaller than I expected! All the burning glow around it obscures the size. I can't wait to watch the eclipse on August 21st!! I had no ill effects from looking at the sun, not even any bright spots in my vision. Very good item!
