Prevent Blindness, a Chicago health and safety organization, is dispelling common misconceptions about the solar eclipse, emphasizing the dangers of looking directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Jay Apt, former NASA astronaut, highlights the importance of eye safety ahead of the April 8 eclipse, noting that even brief exposure to the sun can lead to permanent eye damage. While there may be a safe moment during a total solar eclipse to view without protection, experts advise caution to avoid eclipse blindness or retinal burns.
