"Eclipse Eye Safety: Tips for Protecting Your Vision"

Viewing the solar eclipse without proper eye protection can result in solar retinopathy, causing permanent retinal damage with symptoms like altered color vision or distorted vision. The damage may not cause immediate pain or discomfort, but can manifest within hours or days. If you experience any symptoms or eye discomfort after viewing the eclipse, seek immediate medical attention. There is no treatment for solar retinopathy, and the changes in vision depend on the type of damage done, which can occur in one or both eyes.
