A member asked:

Went tanning wore goggles woke up middle of night, severe eye pain itchy watery light sensitive. flash burn? if so how to treat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antibiotics and time: Sure sounds like it. Should get better quickly with topical antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection. Obviously the goggles did not provide enough protection. I would be more careful the next time, if there is one!
