Eclipse glasses became a hot commodity in the week prior to the total solar eclipse. 

Thousands were recalled after being deemed unsafe:

  1. Metro Health Department Recall
  2. Tennessee State Museum Recall
  3. Vision Source Recall
  4. Williamson Co. Fair (VUMC) Recall
  5. Frist Center for the Visual Arts

Officials across the state have warned eclipse viewers about the importance of wearing glasses. Vanderbilt will even be opening a clinic in anticipation of eye damage victims. 

Even if you don't have eclipse-safe glasses, there are many ways you can safely view the historical event.
