You might not even know you\u2019ve hurt your eyes until hours later.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need a special filter if you\u2019re using a telescope, binoculars or camera. Such devices magnify the image, directing concentrated sun rays into your eyes and can actually increase the amount of damage.<\/p>\n<p>Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can basically give the eye a sunburn, known as photokeratitis. Symptoms are red eyes, feeling as if you\u2019ve got something in your eye, excessive tears and sensitivity to light. The effects usually go away on their own, but they can be painful.<\/p>\n<p>Too much light directly from the sun also can permanently damage the eye\u2019s retina, where visual images of what you see are formed. Known as solar retinopathy, eyes feel sore and watery, and there\u2019s sensitivity to light. Depending on the amount of damage, you may have trouble picking out shapes or details, and there may be a blind spot in the center of your vision. There\u2019s no treatment for solar retinopathy and symptoms can last for weeks, months or even be permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about eclipses and the 2017 eclipse at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eclipse2017.nasa.gov\/eclipse-101\">https:\/\/eclipse2017.nasa.gov\/eclipse-101<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Eclipse viewing glasses<\/h3>\n<p>A limited supply of NASA-approved safety glasses will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Oak Street Roast on Sunday, Aug. 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Chamberlain Field.
