Millions in Eastern and Atlantic Canada experience a rare solar eclipse on April 8th, requiring proper eye protection.
Millions in Eastern and Atlantic Canada can witness a rare solar eclipse on April 8th, but experts warn to only view it with proper eye protection. During an eclipse, intense light and infrared radiation focus on the eye's retina, causing fluid in eye cells to potentially "boil" without protection. Experts advise against looking at the sun normally, as pain triggers a reflex to look away, but the light energy during an eclipse can cause damage to the eyes without a sense of discomfort.
