[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems best for maybe third grade and up, what do others think? Anyone know much about the degree of risk involved? [/quote] My 2nd grader would be devastated to miss it and I don't see any reason why he should. [b]No risk at all as long as kids keep their glasses on.[/b] So maybe not for the PK'ers, if there aren't enough adults to supervise, but would be fine for everyone else.[/quote] Wrong. There is great risk. Most glasses aren't really certified and are poor fitting--especially for children. The darkness causes eyes to dilate and eliminate the body's reflex to not open eyes to the sun's radiation. I'm not saying don't let them give it a try, but don't be naive enough to say there's no risk. With so so many experts being vocal about the risks, I don't understand why so many of you want to brush that off.[/quote] +1[/quote]
