Sarah Farrant, an optometrist warns that viewing the eclipse tonight without protection could damage the retina and macular at the back of the eye.
"The partial eclipse in the UK really means that people will want to look at the sun, but there's still enough to cause damage even when the sun is at its dimmest here in the UK.

Some people will end up with what we call a 'solar burn' at the back of the eye which will have have a lifelong lasting impact on the central part of your vision.
In the 2019 Eclipse a man thought using a Welder's Mask was OK & it wasn't & he's had eye problems since then.
