See More Wyckoff Eclipse Photos From Your Neighbors

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Did you safely view the total eclipse?

Several Wyckoff and Ridgewood residents sent us the above photos.

It will be March 30, 2033, before another total solar eclipse touches the United States, and that’s only on the tip of Alaska.

It’ll be Aug. 12, 2044, before the next eclipse sweeps across the lower 48 states, with parts of Montana and North Dakota experiencing totality.

If you think you might have damaged your eyes, here's what to look for.

Do Your Eyes Hurt?

The American Academy of Opthamology says:

If your eyes feel a little funny after an eclipse, it may not be a sign of solar retinopathy. Damage from the eclipse is unlikely to cause pain or discomfort in your eyes because the retina does not have any pain nerves. Instead, you would notice visual symptoms within four to six hours. But some may notice symptoms after 12 hours.

If you are concerned that you may have sustained damage, here are some symptoms to look out for:

• Blurry vision
• Headache
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Distorted vision, in which a straight line looks bent, or a door jamb looks curvy
• Changes in the way you see color, known as "dyschromatopsia"
