Marine Tondelier denounces a public health "fiasco" over eclipse glasses

Marine Tondelier, national secretary of the Ecologists, described the management of the distribution of protective glasses necessary for observing the solar eclipse scheduled for August 12 as a "fiasco." She emphasized that the lack of these devices posed a public health issue.

According to Tondelier, observing the eclipse without proper glasses can lead to retinal damage. While glasses are available for purchase in supermarkets, opticians, and pharmacies, they are often out of stock, limiting accessibility and exposing the public to health risks.
