AB Ultraviolet  burns  of  the  cornea  are  usually  caused  by  use  of  a  sunlamp  without  eye  protection,  exposure  to  a  welding  arc,  or  exposure  to  the  sun  when  skiing  (“snow  blindness”).  There  are  no  immediate  symptoms,  but  about  6–12  hours  later  the  patient  complains  of  agonizing  eye  pain  and  severe  photophobia.  Slit-lamp  examination  shows  diffuse  punctate  fluorescein  staining  of  both  corneas.
