Burnt Eyes Previously After Using Sun Lamp For Acne. Now Experiencing Pain, Redness In Eyes. Symptoms Of Burnt Eyes?
Approximately 35 years ago I used my mothers sun lamp for acne and burnt my eyes and was unable to open them for several days as I was not advised on the dangers of such a device. I am now in my late 40 s and have been experiencing pain and redness on a daily basis in my eyes? I wear reading glasses but nothing seems to help? Could I have caused some damage that is now showing in symtoms?
