Avertismentul medicilor înaintea eclipsei de miercuri, 12 august: "Zece secunde în care ne uităm la eclipsă cu ochiul liber ne pot afecta vederea" - WOWbiz.ro

Doctors warn that looking directly at the solar eclipse can cause serious eye damage, with just ten seconds of exposure being enough to affect vision. Symptoms may not appear immediately, and can include dark spots in the visual field and increased sensitivity to light. The condition known as solar retinopathy can occur, leading to potential long-term vision issues. It is crucial to use special eclipse glasses that meet international safety standards, as regular sunglasses do not provide adequate protection.
