HOUSTON, Texas -- Finding the right solar eclipse glasses has been a headache for many.
Local stores can't seem to keep them on the shelves, and there have been issues with the legitimacy of some of the glasses sold online.
The American Astronomical Society has created a list of retailers that are selling ISO-compliant solar-eclipse glasses.
Retail chains
Kirklands was previously listed, but their stock is currently sold out in the Houston area.
To avoid driving around aimlessly your best bet is to call specific stores ahead of time to make sure glasses are in stock.
Some of these stores are still getting shipments this week.
If you still want to try the online route, you run the risk of not getting your glasses in time or buying glasses that don't comply with ISO standards.
