For how long does welder's keratitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 24 hours : This is a type of sunburn of the cornea from the ultraviolet radiation released from the welding arc and an unprotected eye. It starts about 4-5 hours after exposure and lasts 12 to 24 hours of misery until the corneal surface remakes itself.
