Dr. D is back with another helpful eye health tip, this time about snow blindness. Snow blindness, also called arc eye or photokeratitis, is a painful eye condition caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. When too much UV light hits the transparent outer layer of your eyes, called the cornea, it essentially gives your cornea a sunburn. #snowblindness #sunglasses #protectyoureyes #eyehealth #eyehealthmatters #eyehealthtips #eyehealthy #eyehealthcare • 💻 Check out my website: drmelaniedenton.com • 🤝 Join our community: eyesafebeauty.com • Snow blindness symptoms can be disorienting. They include: • pain in your eyes • headache • blurred vision • temporary loss of vision • But snow blindness is easily treatable, and your eyes will heal quickly once you remove yourself from the UV rays and rest your eyes. • Snow has reflective qualities that send more UV rays into your eye — that’s how we get the term “snow blindness.” Water and white sand can also cause photokeratitis because they’re very reflective. Severe cold temperatures and dryness can also play a part, making photokeratitis more common in higher elevations. • Photokeratitis is caused by natural or artificial overexposure to UV light. The “photo” part of the word means “light” and keratitis is an inflammation of your cornea. • Your cornea is the clear, dome-shaped tissue that covers your eye. Your cornea doesn’t contain blood vessels, so it needs tears to stay lubricated and healthy. • The outermost layer of the cornea is called the epithelium. It has thousands of nerve endings, making your cornea very sensitive to any damage or pain. When too much UV light hits your cornea, this sensitive outer layer becomes inflamed and irritated, causing a feeling of burning or itching. • 🔗 Affiliate Links: • 🥼 Dr. Denton’s Favorite Products are Heyedrate!✨ https://eyelovethesun.com?aff=68 • 👀 Dry Eye Rescue affiliate code drdenton10 can be used at https://bit.ly/3KMYlud • 🧴 We Love Eyes affiliate code eyethinkican can be used at https: //www.weloveeyes.com/ • 👁️ Twenty/Twenty Beauty (eye safe makeup): trytwentytwenty.com/drdenton • 💄 Eyes Are The Story (makeup skincare): https://eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican • 🧼 Hylawipe (Dry eye at-home solutions): https://www.tearrestore.com/?ref=mela... • 💡 Celluma affiliate code #75618 can be used at https://www.celluma.com/ • 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschool... • • 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE! • Find us on social media: • 🌎 SEE Website: http://salisburyeyecare.com/ • 📷 SEE Instagram: / salisburyeyecareandeyewear • 💬 SEE Facebook: / salisburyeye • 🐤 SEE Twitter: / salisburyeyes • 👩‍⚕️ Dr. D’s Personal Instagram: / dr.melaniedenton • 🏡 We are Salisbury Eyecare and Eyewear – a cold start optometry practice and optical shop that is owned and operated by Dr. Melanie Denton Dombrowski in downtown Salisbury, NC.
