"Protecting Your Eyes During a Solar Eclipse: Safety Tips and Symptoms of Damage"
TL;DR Summary
Staring directly at the sun during a solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage, known as solar retinopathy, with symptoms including watery eyes, color distortion, headaches, and sensitivity to light. Proper eclipse glasses with a silver appearance on the front, black on the inside, and an ISO certification are crucial for protection. Cloudy weather does not provide safety from solar damage, so eye protection is essential regardless of the forecast.
