"Warning: Eye Pain and Eclipse Glasses Recall After Solar Eclipse"

Dr. Vincente Diaz, Chief of Ophthalmology at Yale New Haven Hospital, warns of an increase in patients experiencing eye pain after Monday's solar eclipse, with three cases already attended to and more expected. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to potential permanent vision loss, particularly affecting younger individuals who have less natural eye protection. Dr. Diaz advises those with symptoms such as red eyes, soreness, or vision loss to seek medical attention as symptoms may take days to appear.
