Eye pain doesn't guarantee safety
Eye care specialist, Wiam Al-Jay, issues warnings about the danger of directly looking at a solar eclipse, especially since the absence of pain does not mean the eyes are safe. She explained that exposure to direct rays can cause hidden damage to the retina known as "solar retinopathy," which leads to decreased visual acuity, the appearance of black spots, and distorted lines. She emphasized that ordinary sunglasses or traditional protective methods do not provide sufficient protection, and specialized, certified glasses or indirect viewing techniques should be used. She warned that this damage can occur without immediate symptoms and that injuries may gradually become evident hours or days later. She urged anyone noticing changes in vision to consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
