People suffer eye damage from solar eclipse

According to Metronieuws.nl, at least eighteen people have suffered eye damage after viewing a solar eclipse. It is not known whether those involved wore protective glasses during the natural phenomenon.

Ophthalmologists have been warning for some time about the risks of looking at the sun without protection. Even if the sun is partially covered by the moon, the light can cause serious damage to the retina.

Cases of eye damage have been reported in various parts of the country. Experts advise always wearing special sunglasses when observing a solar eclipse.

It is possible that the number of victims is higher, as not everyone with complaints goes to a doctor immediately. It can take days for the damage to the eye to become apparent.
