This might not have been the brightest idea anyone had during the eclipse.
Several people in California have reportedly been treat- ed by ophthalmologists this week after attempting to view the eclipse by putting sunscreen directly onto their eyes.
According to KRCR-TV in Redding, California, a nurse practitioner told the TV station she'd seen "a few customers" who'd
experienced pain "after they put sunscreen in their eye Monday since they did not have protective glass- es."
She said those patients were referred to eye spe- cialists. She also told KRCR that these were the only eclipse-related eye injuries she'd seen this week.
Poison Control says sun- screen in the eyes can be painful and should be rinsed out immediately.
