Question: What are symptoms of corneal flash burns?
Answer: Radiation damage to the cornea leading to a flash burn can be caused by ultraviolet light from various sources: Sunlamp in tanning salon Reflection of the sun off the snow at high elevation (snow blindness) Photographer's flood lamp Lightning that strikes close to you Halogen lamp Welding torch Direct sunlight Solar eclipse Reflection of sunlight off water Any time from 3-12 hours after overexposure to ultraviolet light, you may begin to notice symptoms: Pain that can be mild to very severe Bloodshot eyes Light sensitivity Excessive tearing Blurry vision Sensation of a foreign body in the eye In most cases, both eyes are involved, although the symptoms may be worse in the eye that received more ultraviolet radiation. This is very different from a corneal abrasion due to an injury, where, ordinarily, only one eye is involved. Because the eyes are very sensitive to disease and damage, any blurred vision, change in vision, or worsening eye pain needs to be evaluated by your ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery).
Question: What is the follow-up for corneal flash burns after treatment?
Answer: Follow-up In most cases, you will need to follow up with your ophthalmologist in 24-48 hours for a reevaluation of the eyes and to make sure that the corneas are healing.
Question: What questions can I ask the doctor about corneal flash burns?
Answer: If you are unable to discuss your situation with an ophthalmologist and you have changes in your vision, have blurry vision, see flashing spots or light, or have worsening eye pain or pain with the movement of your eyes, then you need to go to a hospital's emergency department for an evaluation. Have you found a reason for my symptoms? Will I develop any scarring or permanent visual loss from a corneal flash burn? Is there anything I should do to prevent this injury from happening again? What can I expect to feel once the numbing eyedrops have worn off? When may I resume my regular activities?

Question: What protective eyeglasses can help me prevent corneal flash burns?
Answer: Protective eyeglasses would include: Sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB radiation Ski goggles or "glacier glasses," particularly at high elevations Totally dark glasses for tanning beds A welder's mask when welding The cornea repairs itself rapidly and usually heals without leaving any scars.
Question: What is the outlook for people with corneal flash burns?
Answer: Protective eyeglasses would include: Sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB radiation Ski goggles or "glacier glasses," particularly at high elevations Totally dark glasses for tanning beds A welder's mask when welding The cornea repairs itself rapidly and usually heals without leaving any scars. In most cases, healing takes place in 1-2 days if you follow all instructions and protect your eyes from further damage. However, some complications, such as infection, may not show up right away. Thus, it is important to return for a recheck with your ophthalmologist when it is scheduled.
Question: What is a corneal flash burn?
Answer: Eyes, particularly the cornea (the clear window of tissue on the front of the eyeball), can be damaged easily by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources of ultraviolet light, such as a welder's arc, a photographer's flood lamps, a sun lamp, or even a halogen desk lamp. The cornea takes the brunt of the damage if proper eye protection is not worn, such as dark glasses or goggles while skiing in bright sun. A corneal flash burn (also called ultraviolet keratitis) can be considered to be a sunburn of the eye surface.
Question: What is the medical treatment for corneal flash burns?
Answer: In some cases, the eye may be patched to aid in healing and pain control. Wearing sunglasses may also help relieve the pain. Treatment may involve pain medicine, antibiotic medication, or medicine to enlarge (dilate) the pupils.
Question: When should I seek medical care regarding corneal flash burns?
Answer: Corneal damage from a corneal flash burn or from a disease may cause pain, changes in vision, or loss of vision. If you are unable to discuss your situation with an ophthalmologist and you have changes in your vision, have blurry vision, see flashing spots or light, or have worsening eye pain or pain with the movement of your eyes, then you need to go to a hospital's emergency department for an evaluation.
Question: What exams and tests are used to diagnose corneal flash burns?
Answer: Because the eyes are very sensitive to disease and damage, any blurred vision, change in vision, or worsening eye pain needs to be evaluated by your ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery). Your ophthalmologist looks at the surface of your eyes using special equipment, such as a slit lamp, made especially for examining the eye's surface. A numbing eyedrop to allow your eye to be examined and a painless dye called fluorescein may be put onto your eye to aid in the examination. A damaged cornea, coupled with a history of ultraviolet light exposure, confirms the diagnosis of radiation eye burns or corneal flash burns.
