Solar Eclipse of 12 August 2026: How to Protect Your Eyes
On 12 August 2026, an exceptional solar eclipse will be visible from Belgium. In the early evening, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun and will cover nearly 90% of its disc. This will be the largest partial eclipse visible here since the eclipse of 1999.

A study published in Cell Reports in 2026 proposes a new hypothesis about the mechanisms behind myopia: it may not be screens themselves that drive its development, but rather the reduction in light reaching the retina during prolonged near work in poorly lit indoor environments. Researchers at SUNY College of Optometry (New York) show that pupil constriction linked to accommodation — the natural reflex that makes nearby images sharp — is more pronounced in myopes, further reducing retinal illumination.

Personalized LASIK: Does the Machine Matter More Than the Surgeon?
"Doctor, is your laser the most recent one?" The question comes up often in consultation, and it is a fair one. Modern LASIK platforms offer several treatment strategies, called ablation profiles: optimized wavefront, guided wavefront, topography-guided, and, more recently, ray-tracing guided. Every manufacturer promotes its own. So which one should you choose?
