Over 500 seek medical help after total solar eclipse in Spain

More than 500 people in Spain sought medical assistance following the total solar eclipse observed across the Northern Hemisphere on August 12, according to Infobae. Spain's emergency services recorded the requests across eleven autonomous regions, with most patients reporting eye-related symptoms. The eclipse, in which the Moon completely covered the Sun, was visible from Greenland, Iceland, Portugal and Spain, while in major Western European cities the Moon obscured between 85% and 95% of the solar disk. It was the first total solar eclipse visible from continental Europe since 1999, drawing significant public attention across the region. No further details on the severity of the reported symptoms were immediately available.
