Can you tell me how many believe that snow-burn is linked to people with light sensitive eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uv corneal burn: This is a condition in which unaltered sunlight uv radiation causes a sunburn of the surface of the cornea. The color of the eyes is irrelevant except to the extent that those with lighter colored eyes are more commonly light sensitive and may shield their eyes a little more. But the corneal sensitivity is the same.
