photokeratitis is an acute injury to the cornea caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It is sometimes described as a “sunburn of the eye,” mainly affecting the corneal surface. It commonly occurs after exposure to UV sources such as sunlight reflected off snow or water, welding arcs, or tanning devices. The term is used in eye care to describe a recognizable pattern of symptoms and exam findings after UV exposure.
