WASHINGTON — Ahead of April's total solar eclipse, a popular eyeglasses company is offering free solar eclipse glasses.
Warby Parker is hoping to help customers watch the eclipse while protecting their eyes with limited-edition, ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses. The free glasses will be available at all Warby Parker stores starting Monday, April 1.
The glasses will be available as long as supplies last. Customers can drop by at any time to pick up a pair, however, stores will only be providing two pairs per family.
"We know you're just as excited about this celestial spectacle as we are," the Warby Parker website reads. "We encourage you to swing by at your earliest convenience."
There are several Warby Parker locations across the DMV:
- 1224 Connecticut Ave NW #101, Washington, DC 20036
