Even brief viewing of a partial solar eclipse without protection can cause damage. Because the light is dimmer in a partial eclipse, our eyes don’t receive the feedback mechanism from our brains to remind us that this light is harmful. Even viewing a partial eclipse with polarized sunglasses on can give you the equivalent of a welder’s painful flash burn on your cornea in a matter of a few seconds. As well, in less than 15 to 20 seconds, a hole can be burned into your eye’s macula. Although painless, you could be left with a permanent central spot of blur in your vision. Our entire family wears glasses so we are passionate about eye protection! We hope you enjoy the eclipse. Wishing you all the best from Doug, Susan and Kristen – a family Team selling real estate in Calgary for 40 years. For full report click HERE.
