Do women suffer from snow blindness after playing snow for four hours? How to prevent snow blindness

In recent days, Ruixue has come to Wuhan, many people are excited to fight snowfights and make snowmen. Yesterday morning, Ms. Liu, a citizen, suffered from eye tingling and redness. She was diagnosed as "snow blindness" in the hospital. So for those who suffer from snow blindness, winter must be done in advance to protect measures!

Ms. Liu is a southerner. She envied northerners when she was young that they could have fun in the thick snow. Recently, it snowed heavily in Wuhan. Ms. Liu thought it was not good to watch the snow in the city, so she asked her husband to take him to his hometown in Jiangxia. At noon on January 28, the couple had a snowball fight, snowman making and snowscape shooting in their hometown of Jiangxia. They spent four hours playing before returning to the urban area reluctantly.

Yesterday morning, Ms. Liu got up and felt her eyes tingling and weeping. The sunshine outside reflected the white snow, which made her unable to open her eyes. She quickly put on her sunglasses and went to the eye clinic of Aier in Hanyang.

Director Niu Xiaoguang said that Ms. Liu suffered from electro-optic ophthalmia, also known as "snow blindness", which is caused by the damage of ultraviolet rays to cornea and conjunctival epithelium. Because of the high reflectivity of snow to sunlight, looking directly at snow is just like looking directly at sunlight. He reminded the public that when playing with snow, they should take protective measures, such as wearing sunglasses, or not staring at the snow for a long time. Once the eyes show tingling, swelling and other symptoms, they should go to the regular hospital in time.
