# 27 suffer eye damage after eclipse. PARIS (AP) - The number of people in
France who suffered eye damage after watching last week's solar eclipse
has risen to 27. None of the victims wore protective eye glasses during
the eclipse. Staring at the eclipse with the naked eye can cause damage
to the retina. Following the Aug. 11 eclipse, which was total in much of
northern France, 322 people consulted eye doctors with complaints, but
most showed no sign of eye damage. Some had damaged their alien implants.

the voices in your head recommend it? Do you wear eye protection? Why not??
