[accident] Electro-optic ophthalmia caused by welding without protective glasses

Mr. Liu, who lives in Zhuzhou, is an electric welder. He returned home at night after working on the construction site. Suddenly his eyes suddenly felt burning sensation and severe pain, foreign body sensation, and tears. He quickly washed his eyes with clean water, but he still had unbearable eye pain. The family hurried him to the Zhuzhou Central Hospital.

According to Mr. Liu's situation, the doctor initially considered the electro-optic ophthalmia caused by electric welding because the electric welding work directly looks at the electric welding light and causes a large amount of ultraviolet rays to be injected in the arc during welding. After giving cold compresses and preventing anti-infection treatment, Mr. Liu's symptoms have completely improved after 2 days.

According to Zou Hong, deputy director of ophthalmology at the hospital, electro-optic ophthalmia, also known as UV eye injury, is caused by damage to the conjunctiva and cornea caused by excessive UV radiation. It can be used for a long time in snow, deserts, salt pans, and vast water surfaces. It can be caused by walking without wearing protective glasses, or by exposure to strong ultraviolet rays such as the sun and ultraviolet rays.
