Google searches for “My eyes hurt” hit a peak in the United States on April 9th, 2024, the day after the solar eclipse was seen over the country. Despite being warned by several sources to not look at the solar eclipse without proper eye wear, which can result in irreversible eye damage in seconds, people are now googling how to treat eye pain.
