Incidence of Solar Retinopathy and Photokeratitis in US Emergency Departments Surrounding the April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to assess the incidence of solar retinopathy and photokeratitis-related emergency department visits surrounding the April 2024 total solar eclipse. Their analysis of 1,774 eye injury visits revealed no statistically significant increase in cases after the eclipse compared to before, suggesting that public education on safe eclipse viewing may have effectively mitigated potential eye injuries.
