SAN ANTONIO – A once-in-a-lifetime sight that can only be seen with the right glasses — if you're looking to buy a pair, a retired San Antonio teacher has you covered. Frank Badrack got the idea to start the business during the August 2017 eclipse when he saw many fraudulent glasses sold. 'I researched a great deal on where to have our glasses made and American Paper Optics. They've been doing this for over 30 years,' Badrack said. To make sure your solar eclipse glasses are legitimate, check the inside of the glasses for an ISO certification or go to the American Astronomical Society website to see a list of certified glasses.
