Most of us don't think about that terrible snow glare, until we are walking out the door and it smacks us in the face. We don't realize how bad the suns UV rays reflecting off the snow really are. That glare from the snow and ice can be extremely damaging to the eyes especially for our growing children. Snow reflects almost 80% of the suns rays and that exposure to UV glare can result in sunburn of the cornea. According to Oregon Eye Specialists, UV exposure can cause a painful condition called photokeratitis, or “snow blindness.” Reporter Anderson Cooper recently experienced temporary vision loss from this condition. Did you know a day in the snow can actually be worse for the eyes than a day at the beach, says The New York Times.
