Mayo Clinic Minute - Keep your eyes and skin safe during the total solar eclipse
On April 8, 2024, North America will experience a total solar eclipse, stretching across parts of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada, with approximately 31.6 million people living in the path of totality. According to NASA, every contiguous state in the U.S., along with parts of Alaska and Hawaii, will witness at least a partial solar eclipse.
Dr. Dawn Davis, a dermatologist at Mayo Clinic says with all eyes toward the sky, it's important to protect your eyes and your skin from UV light damage. You'll need eye protection with special-purpose solar filters for viewing and to take precautions to safeguard your skin from the sun's rays during long periods outside.
And when it comes to protection, she says sunscreen is for the skin only – never for the eye itself.
