Treatment after ultraviolet exposure to eyes

The human body has many organs, including the eyes. The eyes are considered to be one of the more important organs in the human body. They give us vision, facilitate our daily lives, and have many benefits. Ultraviolet light is a type of light. In addition to certain advantages, it also has certain disadvantages. For example, some problems will occur when ultraviolet light hits the eyes. So what is the post-treatment after ultraviolet light shines on the eyes?

This is a typical case of ultraviolet damage. Generally, corneal epithelial damage and keratitis occur. It is recommended to use tobramycin eye drops and recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops for treatment. It is best to use erythromycin ointment before sleeping.

1. Apply cold compress to the eyes, ask the patient to close the eyes, and then apply a cold towel to the eyes. 2. Use fresh human milk to drip into the eyes, 3 to 5 drops in each affected eye, do not open the eyes immediately after dripping the milk, close the eyes for 3 to 5 minutes, and drip once every 2 hours. 3. Use local chloramphenicol eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment, etc. to prevent infection

I suggest you buy a few tubes of chloramphenicol eye ointment and apply it on your eyes. If necessary, you can bandage your eyes with gauze. Generally, the cornea will be repaired within 1-2 days. It is not a big problem. Next time when doing such an experiment, you must take protective measures. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful to the human body.

Ultraviolet damage to the eyes is mainly caused by short-wave (far) ultraviolet rays. It is generally believed that ultraviolet rays are most damaging to the cornea when their wavelength is 280nm, while their effect is relatively reduced when the wavelength is above 310nm or around 254nm. Relevant literature indicates that the most effective wavelength for the cornea is 288nm, while the best absorption rate of the corneal epithelium is 265nm, which is the absorption wavelength of nucleoprotein. This shows that the anuclear reaction of the cornea is not due to the absorption of nucleoprotein, but due to the selective absorption of globulin and albumin in the cytoplasm. Therefore, the ultraviolet light that acts on the cornea is far (short-wave) ultraviolet light with a wavelength below 320nm. Photoelectric eye inflammation is the result of exposure to short-wave ultraviolet rays and is the most common occupational eye disease. Its early symptoms include severe pain, photophobia, eyelid spasm, and tears. The condition worsens when light shines into the eyes. Examination of the eyes reveals congestion, facial flushing, diffuse punctate opacities on the cornea, positive fluorescein staining, decreased corneal perception, and spasmodic constriction of the pupil.

Short-wave ultraviolet rays can also cause damage to the eyes during marches in the snow, among climbers, and those working in deserts, sea areas and tropical areas. This condition is often called solar ophthalmia (snow blindness), and its symptoms are very similar to those of photoelectric ophthalmia.
