Here is a sneak peak of our article on whether your eyes can get sunburnt:
As the summer sun intensifies and you slip, slop and slap, don’t forget to slide on some sunnies to protect your eyes from the sun’s harsh rays.
The eyes are more sensitive than our skin to UV rays and without protection they are at risk of photokeratitis, a painful eye condition that occurs when your eyes are exposed to too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation, said optometrist Luke Arundel. “Photokeratitis can occur in one or both eyes simultaneously. Similar to sunburn like that which occurs on your skin, it is not usually noticed until well after the damage has occurred,” he said. “Symptoms include pain, redness, blurriness, tearing, swelling and sensitivity to light.”
