One of the rarest sights is witnessing a total solar eclipse. Similarly, your vision is invaluable. However, looking directly at a partial or total solar eclipse can lead to blindness. Our optometrists at Eye Care Center-Ballantyne in Charlotte can assist you in protecting your vision and maintaining eye health.
Even if the regular sunglasses you typically wear are very dark, they cannot adequately protect your eyes. In fact, doing so can be dangerous and may result in retinal damage, potentially leading to permanent vision loss. Likewise, viewing a solar eclipse through unfiltered binoculars, a telescope, or a camera can cause harm to your eyes. Additionally, homemade filters are neither sufficient nor safe for viewing a solar eclipse. If you wish to prioritize your eye health, consider searching for an optometrist near you.
If you are uncertain about your next steps, our doctors of optometry at Eye Care Center-Ballantyne in Charlotte can provide assistance. Contact our team today at (704) 541-5500 to learn more or schedule an appointment.
