Tips on How to Safely View the Eclipse

As Greenwich pediatricians, we want to ensure your kids enjoy the upcoming eclipse safely! Here are some essential tips:

  1. Protect those peepers! Make sure your children wear certified solar eclipse glasses to shield their eyes from harmful rays. See Dr. Vidya on TikTok as she shows some creative ways to create eye gear to view the eclipse safely: https://www.tiktok.com/@nextgenerationpediatrics
  2. Supervise closely: Keep a watchful eye on your little ones during the eclipse to prevent them from looking directly at the sun.
  3. Get creative: Consider fun alternatives like pinhole projectors or solar viewers for a safer viewing experience.

Let’s make this celestial event both educational and safe for our young stargazers!
