NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
During a solar eclipse, the Moon's blockage of the Sun's light can make it seem safer to look directly at the Sun, but this is not the case. The Sun's ultraviolet and infrared rays can still cause serious damage to the retina, even if the light appears dimmer. Prolonged exposure to these rays can lead to a condition known as solar retinopathy, which can result in serious and potentially permanent vision problems.
