Any intense exposure to UV light can lead to photokeratitis.

Damage to the eye(s) caused by ultraviolet rays is known as photokeratitis.

Photokeratitis is a corneal sunburn that's also known as snow blindness.

Photokeratitis can be thought of as a sunburn of the cornea.

(See also arc eye, also known as welder's flash or photokeratitis.)

Researchers have linked UV exposure in our eyes to the temporary discomforts caused by photokeratitis and the long-term effects of cataracts, which include possible blindness.

Photokeratitis is akin to a sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva, and is not usually noticed until several hours after exposure.

Photokeratitis can be prevented by using sunglasses or eye protection that transmits 5-10% of visible light and absorbs almost all UV rays.

This is termed arc eye, while photokeratitis caused by exposure to sunlight reflected from ice and snow, particularly at elevation, is commonly called snow blindness.

This blurring of vision could be linked to photokeratitis (snow blindness) - the result of unprotected exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Ninnis developed photokeratitis (snow-blindness), which Mawson treated with zinc sulfate and cocaine hydrochloride.

Photokeratitis - keratitis due to intense ultraviolet radiation exposure (e.g. snow blindness or welder's arc eye.)

Photokeratitis is also called "snow blindness" because many people develop this condition at high altitudes in a snowy environment where the reflections of UVB are high.

Long hours on the beach or in the snow without adequate eye protection also can result in a short-term condition known as photokeratitis, or reversible sunburn of the cornea.

Photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis is a painful eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from either natural or artificial sources.

The most widespread protection is against ultraviolet radiation, which can cause short-term and long-term ocular problems such as photokeratitis, snow blindness, cataracts, pterygium, and various forms of eye cancer.

Photokeratitis is known by a number of different terms including: snow blindness, arc eye, welder's flash, bake eyes, corneal flash burns, flash burns, niphablepsia, or keratoconjunctivitis photoelectrica.

High intensities of UVB light are hazardous to the eyes, and exposure can cause welder's flash (photokeratitis or arc eye) and may lead to cataracts, pterygium, and pinguecula formation.

But the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches the eyes during a day of skiing, sailing or sunbathing is enough to cause a temporary loss of vision and burning sensation called snow blindness, or photokeratitis.

Labeling System Described Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light can damage the retina or cause photokeratitis, an injury that is similar to snow blindness and has been associated with cataracts, which cloud the lens of the eye.

Snow blindness (also known as ultraviolet keratitis, photokeratitis or niphablepsia) is a painful eye condition, caused by exposure of unprotected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in bright sunlight reflected from snow or ice.

Sunburn Sun Tan Premature Aging/Photoaging Skin Cancer Actinic or Solar Keratoses Eye Damage Photokeratitis Cataracts Immune System Suppression UV radiation, whether from natural or artificial sources, damages the skin.

Failure to use such protection when arc welding or even being near where arc welding is going on can result in a painful condition called "arc eye" or Photokeratitis, which is akin to a severe sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva of the eye.

"In photokeratitis, tiny blisters form on the surface of the cornea," says Gail Royal, MD, an ophthalmologist in Myrtle Beach, S.C. "It's a condition that will generally resolve on its own with proper medical treatment, but it's uncomfortable enough to spoil your vacation."

It is a type of ultraviolet keratitis.

A corneal flash burn (also called ultraviolet keratitis) can be considered to be a sunburn of the eye surface.
