We had a stock of 11,500 and now we have zero, says Jan Nyberg, CEO of the store chain Normal, to TT.

He says the glasses were purchased recently and distributed fairly evenly across the chain's 153 stores around the country, and that many more could have been sold.

People have been calling all the time and in recent days there has been an incredible amount of pressure, says Nyberg.

To prevent dangerous rays from damaging your eyes when looking at the sun, solar eclipse glasses of a specific standard (EN ISO 12312-2) are recommended.

Several media outlets are reporting that solar eclipse glasses have also sold out at other points of sale around Sweden.
