During a solar eclipse, the sun's rays are still extremely intense. Even when partially blocked, the sun can emit harmful levels of light and radiation that can damage the eyes. Special eyewear filters out these harmful rays. The moon itself is not bright enough to cause such damage. And while special eyewear may enhance viewing, the primary reason is protection from the sun's harmful effects.
