It’s a kind of sunburn of the eye caused by too much exposure without protection “. However, it occurs more in the mountains because the reverberation is more powerful.
What must be remembered is that the eyes are like the skin: the more one exposes oneself, the more the risk of premature aging intervenes. ” This leads to the cataracta faster decline in sight, AMD etc … “, adds the journalist.
