Health Alert: Safety Reminders for the Solar Eclipse (April 8, 2024)
(4/3/2024) Tompkins County Whole Health (TCWH) is reminding the community of important safety guidance regarding the upcoming solar eclipse that will occur on Monday, April 8, 2024. The eclipse is expected to begin at approximately 2:00 pm and end by 4:30 pm, with the full total eclipse occurring in our area between 3:15 pm-3:30 pm.
While Tompkins County falls outside of the “zone of totality,” the safety guidance remains the same, as the impact of looking at the sun while in a partial eclipse will still be damaging to the eyes without proper safety equipment. If your eyes are exposed to the sun without the appropriate protection, it can cause “eclipse blindness,” which can temporarily or permanently damage your eyes.
To keep your eyes protected:
- Do not look directly at the sun during the eclipse.
- Sunglasses will NOT protect your eyes.
- Certified eclipse glasses are available for free, while supplies last, at all Tompkins County libraries.
- If you wear eyeglasses, wear the eclipse glasses on top of your regular glasses.
- Learn about indirect viewing techniques
Additional information and important precautions are in the full press release.
