Naval Hospital Bremerton stresses Sight Safety for Solar Eclipse viewing
Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) wants everyone’s sight-seeing to safely stay that way during the much-anticipated August 21, 2017 total eclipse of the sun. The total eclipse – with the sun being completely blocked out by passage of the moon – will be initially visible in Oregon and continue across North America to South Carolina. Staring – even squinting – at the sun can cause serious damage to a person’s eye. NHB’s ophthalmologists strongly recommend to everyone that they avoid looking directly at the sun during the upcoming total eclipse. Sight safety is an awareness they continually emphasize to everyone (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs)
