Sunburn and Vision Problems

According to an article published on everyday health about Sunburn and Eye Pain or Vision Problem eyes are very sensitive to sunlight, and sunburns on your eyes can cause damage to your retina or even the lens which can ultimately cause cataracts. 

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness and can be caused by direct, intense UV rays hitting the eyes over many years. 

Sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent UV rays can protect you from eye problems related to sun exposure.

Eye pain or vision problems after being in the sun can be very serious, and the symptoms of vision problems from sun exposure may include:

·      Partial or complete vision loss.

·      Burning pain.

·      A feeling that something is in your eye (foreign body sensation).

·      Decreased vision.

·      Photophobia.
