Melissa in the Morning: Solar Eclipse and Your Eyes

It’s the moment in the skies we’ve all been waiting for: the 2024 Solar Eclipse! The National Weather Service reports the eclipse is expected to be visible in Connecticut with approximately 92-94% sun coverage with the max coverage set for 3:27pm. Even though the eclipse means unusual darkness when it’s usually brighter in the afternoon, it doesn’t mean you can look directly at it without protection. We spoke about this more in depth with our eye expert, Dr. Scott Spector of Spector Eye Care.
