April 8th is quickly approaching!! As the excitement for the eclipse begins to build, here are some tips to keep you safe:
1. Wear ISO-Approved Eyewear
Wear ISO-approved eyewear to view the eclipse safely. Without the proper eyewear, you risk an eye injury.
2. Plan For Traffic
Henry County is expected to see an increase in traffic starting April 6th through April 8th. It will be crucial to plan when traveling to any scheduled appointments. Be sure to leave early and fill up on gas to accommodate the potential wait times.
3. Eye Injury Symptoms Will Not Be Immediate
Eye injuries can be caused by looking up at the eclipse without proper eye protection. Symptoms will often not present themselves for 4-12 hours after the injury has taken place. If you believe you have an eye injury following the eclipse, please contact your ophthalmologist.
