Eighteen people with eye damage after solar eclipse

Eighteen people in the Netherlands have suffered eye damage after viewing the solar eclipse last month. An ophthalmologist who examined the patients reports this. The problem suggests that the damage was caused by looking at the sun unprotected.

According to the ophthalmologist, the complaints are due to looking directly at the sun without special protection. This can lead to permanent eye damage, such as spots in the field of vision or reduced vision. The doctor advises never to look at the sun without protection.

The solar eclipse attracted a lot of attention, especially in the United States. In the Netherlands, the natural phenomenon was also clearly visible. However, it is important to be careful when observing such events.
