April Solar Eclipse
AOA, Prevent Blindness Release Eye Safety Information Ahead Of April Solar Eclipse
Healio (3/26) reports,
“On April 8, a total solar eclipse – one of the longest in the 21st century – will be visible throughout most of the U.S., with its path of totality crossing through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.” Ahead of “the event, Prevent Blindness and the American Optometric Association have released eye safety information to help educate clinicians and the public on safe-viewing tips and solar retinopathy.” AOA President Ronald L. Benner, OD, told Healio, “As there is no known treatment [for solar retinopathy], prevention is key. ... Whether it’s via your social media channels, newsletter or simply talking to patients in-person, spreading awareness about the eclipse and how looking at it can affect their eyes is critical.” Healio interviewed Jill C. Autry, OD, “to discuss solar retinopathy and what optometrists should keep in mind about the upcoming solar eclipse.”
