I bought some lenses for the solar eclipse, that meet ANSI Z80.3-2010 requirements and block 100% of UVA/UVB. My question is how would something like this hold up to the rays during the eclipse? I understand that the Sun emits UVA UVB and UVC, although UVC does not pass through our atmosphere. Would these be of sufficient protection against the rays during this event? Thanks

No, they are not.

>These products are commonly called sunglasses, and they are not designed to be industrial safety eyewear as defined in ANSI Z87.1, or to provide corrective prescriptions as defined in ANSI Z80.1, or to provide protection for selected sports as defined within ASTM F08.57 committee standards, or to provide protection when making direct observation of the sun, such as for viewing a partial or annular solar eclipse.

Can you explain why if they block UVA/UVB there would be an issue? What is the actual Science behind it? I'm very interested

the issue isn't just about whether they block uva/uvb but also how much regular sunlight they block
the problem with the eclipse is that rapid changes in sunlight intensity occur, especially as the sun comes out from under the moon. those changes can happen faster than your eyes can adjust
