A painful disorder of the cornea of the eye due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet light reflected from the snow. Recovery usually follows within 24 hours of covering the eyes.
Damage caused to the cornea of an unprotected eye by the reflection of the sun’s rays from snow. Ultraviolet rays (UVR) are the damaging agent, and people going out in snow and sunlight should wear protective goggles. The condition is painful, but resolves if the eyes are covered with pads for a day or two. Prolonged exposure may seriously damage the cornea and impair vision.
Blindness, usually temporary, resulting from the glare of sunlight on snow. It may result in photophobia and conjunctivitis, the latter resulting from effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Eye irritation resulting from prolonged exposure to the glare of light reflecting off extensive snow-covered areas.
