Photokeratitis Treatment Cost In American Hospital Istanbul

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) or artificial (e.g. the electric arc during welding) sources.
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, placing a cold washcloth over closed eyes, oral analgesics, etc can be used to treat symptoms until the cornea is re-epithelialized.
