It seems to also be a failure of the American education system. I've been told to not look directly at the sun since I can remember. Kids have very sensitive eyes so it's surprising to me that not everybody heard that rule.

The funny thing is I once got my eyes burnt even without looking at the sun directly - I sailed a lot without sunglasses and thus learned that reflected light can be harmful as well.

Wear eye protection as often as you can kids
