The claim that zoos give glasses to visitors to prevent direct eye contact with gorillas is supported by multiple sources. An initiative in a zoo led by FTBO insurance involved distributing special glasses to mitigate stress in gorillas caused by direct eye contact. These glasses, known as Bokito Kijker, are indeed provided to help reduce potential aggression or stress in gorillas due to direct staring by humans.
