Avertisment de la medici: Nu priviți eclipsa de Soare cu ochiul liber! În câte secunde se produc leziuni? • Newsweek România

Doctors warn against viewing the solar eclipse directly, as even a brief glance can cause serious retinal damage. The partial eclipse on August 12, 2026, will be visible in parts of Romania. Just ten seconds of direct exposure can lead to symptoms like dark spots in vision and increased light sensitivity. The condition known as solar retinopathy can occur without immediate pain, making it crucial to use proper eclipse glasses that meet international safety standards. Regular sunglasses do not provide adequate protection.
