Michael Stoddart, a policyholder with Eclipse at Lloyd's, must have thought he was suffering hearing, not eyesight, problems following the eclipse.
The company gave him a year's free insurance to thank him for his loyacustom – he has been with Eclipse since 1969.

Especially if he keeps getting shocks like that.
