☆ How to tell if you have eye damage after viewing the eclipse
  + stars: | 2024-04-09 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —The total solar eclipse has come and gone after creating a celestial spectacle Monday in the skies over Mexico, the US and Canada. But some people may be experiencing eye discomfort, rather than awe, in the aftermath. Looking at the sun without proper eye protection, such as certified eclipse glasses or solar viewers, can result in solar retinopathy, or retinal damage from exposure to solar radiation. During the 2017 total solar eclipse, a young woman was diagnosed with solar retinopathy in both eyes after viewing the eclipse with what doctors believed were eclipse glasses not held to the safety standard. Post-eclipse eye damage symptomsSymptoms of eye damage after viewing the eclipse without proper protection can take hours or days to manifest.

☆ How to check if your solar eclipse glasses are real
  + stars: | 2024-03-29 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Otherwise, experts say it’s absolutely necessary to wear certified eclipse glasses or use handheld solar viewers that meet a specific safety standard, known as ISO 12312-2, when watching all other phases of a total or partial solar eclipse. And sunglasses won’t work in place of eclipse glasses or solar viewers. Counterfeit eclipse glasses with black lenses that have straight left and right edges from China (top) are printed with text copied from real eclipse glasses, but the counterfeit glasses are missing the company address. Meanwhile, real eclipse glasses from American Paper Optics (bottom) have reflective lenses with curved left and right edges. Never look through an unfiltered optical device of any kind in this situation, even while wearing eclipse glasses.

☆ Symptoms from excessive screen time cost the U.S. $73 billion a year, study finds

American workers are spending too much time looking at screens. As a result, symptoms of "excessive screen time," or more than seven hours of screen time a day, are costing the U.S. $73 billion per year, the report said. The figure was determined by analyzing the direct financial costs incurred by health systems, the symptoms' impact on productivity at work, and their perceived impact on an individual's well-being. Just two hours of screen time per day can induce these symptoms, and if left untreated, the study found they can "lead to decreased productivity, exacerbate other undiagnosed eye conditions and may affect an individual's sleep quality and mental health." The study found that people with excessive screen time exposure could save as much as $1,920 per person by seeing an optometrist and managing their symptoms.

On Oct. 14, there will be a visible solar eclipse in several parts of the U.S. — mainly on the west coast in states like California and Oregon.

Remember to be mindful of your children viewing the solar eclipse as well, he adds.
