Contributing Editors: add. Photokeratitis, or Ultraviolet Keratitis, is a painful eye condition which can develop after unprotected exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) rays. Ultraviolet rays, from a variety of sources including welding arcs (arc eye, welder's eye) , reflections off snow (snow blindness), and germicidal UV lamps can damage ...
Arc welding and light reflections from snow (particularly at high altitudes) remain the most classical examples of exposures for photokeratitis, but many other sources exist and have been reported. Below includes a list of potential sources of UV exposure in photokeratitis. Arc welding. Snow reflections.
Treatment of photokeratitis is supportive, and similar to that of treatment of a corneal abrasion. The corneal epithelium should heal within 24-72 hours, and supportive measurements such as ointment, artificial tears, and oral analgesics can be used to treat symptoms until the cornea is re-epithelialized.
The cornea is transparent and transmits light in the visible spectrum (400nm to 700nm), but will absorb light in the Ultraviolet spectrum (10 nm to 400 nm). Numerous animal studies have shown that the the corneal epithelium absorbs almost 100% of UV light below 290nm (UV-C range). This epithelial UV absorption potentially serves a protective role ...
Patients with occupational UV exposure such as welders should adhere to the standard protections outlined by the ANSI standards for Eye and Face Protectors and for Occupations and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices.
Anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours after an exposure to a source, patients will usually present with bilateral eye pain, photophobia, decreased vision, tearing, and will often have facial or eyelid erythema related to the UV exposure as well.
There have been no long term follow up studies on photokeratitis, but it is known that prolong ed or increased lifetime UV exposure can lead to other pathologies such as pterygium, erythema, malignant melanoma, and non-melanotic skin cancers.
The ICD code H161 is used to code Photokeratitis. Photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis is a painful eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from either natural (e.g. intense sunlight at high altitudes) or artificial (e.g. the electric arc during welding) sources.
