Ultraviolet light shining eye injury treatment

After the UV lamp irradiation of the eyes, it may lead to electrophotographic ophthalmia, resulting in eye irritation symptoms, including severe pain in both eyes, conjunctival congestion, tearing, photophobia and other symptoms. For the treatment of this situation, first of all, we should stay away from the environment of the UV lamp to avoid re-irradiation, secondly, give local cold compresses to reduce the symptoms of pain, and then apply antibiotic eye ointment, such as erythromycin eye ointment, which can reduce local pain on the one hand, and erythromycin eye ointment can play the role of isolation, separating the cornea from the eyelids to reduce symptoms, and on the other hand, it can avoid local infection. Recovery from this condition is relatively quick, usually returning to normal in about 24 hours.
