    Can children blind themselves by looking at the eclipse? Some schools think so and are giving kids the day off. https://usat.ly/2iaCO4l

        Yes, an eclipse, if looked at directly, can cause blindness or extreme retinal damage at the least.

        Yes, people can be blinded by watching the eclipse without taking the proper care. Please change the headline. It could mislead.

        I'll pass on to my co-workers what callers told us was wrong. We were worried they wouldnt be replaced in time.
