Sunburns Affecting Eyes and Relief Tips
Sunburns on the eyes, medically known as photokeratitis, occur as a result of damage to the surface tissues of the eye caused by ultraviolet rays, particularly affecting the cornea and conjunctiva. Symptoms typically appear after 6 to 12 hours and include pain, burning sensation, redness, tearing, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision; in rare cases, this can lead to temporary loss of vision. Symptoms can be alleviated at home by avoiding rubbing the eyes, applying cold compresses, resting, and using pain relievers and lubricating eye drops. However, it is essential to see a doctor immediately if severe pain persists, more intense symptoms develop, or if vision deteriorates—especially if these symptoms last more than 48 hours.
