It is no secret that staring directly at the sun during a solar eclipse or at any other time can lead to permanent eye damage. You can only safely look at the solar eclipse with your naked eyes during totality, or in total darkness when the Moon completely covers the Sun. That said, if you are planning to witness the entire proceeding, eye protection is a must, or more specifically, certified eclipse glasses.
Don’t know where to get a pair of eclipse glasses? Well then allow us to point you in the right direction: 7-Eleven. You heard that right. 7-Eleven, Inc. is celebrating the April 8 solar eclipse by offering special deals at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores across the U.S. which include solar eclipse glasses for safe viewing of this cosmic event as well as letting you enjoy a $3 pizza deal.
But before you rush down to a 7-Eleven, we have more good news if you are a 7NOW Gold Pass subscriber. 7NOW Gold Pass subscribers can snag a free pair of solar eclipse shades with any order from April 4 to April 8, while supplies last, of course, and get a whole pizza for just $3 on the day of the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8.
