[A New Way to Look Up. Solar Retinopathy Risks and Methods of Prevention Prior to the 2015 Solar Eclipse].

Abstract:

:A solar eclipse is an impressive natural phenomenon that was last experienced in Europe in 2006. Last year, on March 20th 2015, a solar eclipse was visible in much of Europe. Solar retinopathy is a recognised potentially sight threatening condition that has been associated with direct or unprotected sun gazing. Public education has been shown to improve behaviour and attitudes that could influence the development of solar retinopathy during an eclipse. We have performed a study through newspapers prior to the 2015 solar eclipse in different European countries, in order to determine the level of public health awareness and attitudes to protection. Methods: 31 online editions of national newspapers were reviewed from six countries where the eclipse was most visible. Solar retinopathy, potential warnings, safe methods of viewing an eclipse and assessment of use and dangers of modern technologies were assessed. Results: All 25 newspapers examined mentioned the solar eclipse and risk to eyesight. Safe methods for viewing the eclipse were discussed in all newspapers. Eclipse eyeglasses were mentioned in 29 of the 31 newspapers reviewed. Children were identified as a high-risk group but advice for children viewing the eclipse varied between countries. Conclusion: Since the solar eclipse of 2006, there has been an increase in the level of education available in the media. Although the safe methods for viewing an eclipse have not changed in recent years, emerging technologies, such as camera phones and the "selfie" trend, have potentially increased the risk of eclipse-associated retinopathy. :Die Sonnenfinsternis ist ein beeindruckendes Naturphänomen, welches in Europa zuletzt 2006 erlebt wurde. Am 20. März 2015 konnte eine Sonnenfinsternis in einem großen Teil Europas beobachtet werden. Ohne geeigneten Augenschutz sollte jedoch eine Sonnenfinsternis nicht betrachtet werden, da dadurch Solarretinopathie verursacht werden kann. Die öffentliche Bildung über das Verhalten bei einer Sonnenfinsternis zeigt sich intensiver. In dieser Studie wurden die Aufklärungskampagnen von Zeitungen vor der letzten Sonnenfinsternis in verschiedenen EU-Ländern miteinander verglichen. Methoden: 31 Onlinezeitungsausgaben aus 6 Ländern, in denen die Sonnenfinsternis am meisten sichtbar war, wurden geprüft. Die Aufklärung über das Solarretinopathierisiko, die Methoden einer sicheren Beobachtung und die sichere Anwendung der neuen Technologien wurden bewertet. Ergebnisse: In allen geprüften Zeitungen wird die Sonnenfinsternis erwähnt sowie die damit verbundene Gefahr für die Sehkraft und verschiedene Augenschutzmethoden. Von den meisten Zeitungen werden Sonnensichtbrillen empfohlen. Die Hinweise auf die Schutzmaßnahmen für Kinder als Hochrisikogruppe sind zwischen den Ländern unterschiedlich. Diskussion: Die Aufklärung seitens der Medien hat sich seit der Sonnenfinsternis von 2006 intensiviert. Die Augenschutzmethoden haben sich die letzten Jahre nicht geändert, neue Technologien, wie Handy-Kameras und der Selfie-Trend, können jedoch das Risiko einer Solarretinopathie erhöhen.
