What Causes Burning And Pain In Eyes On Exposure To Ultraviolet Rays?

Dear Dr. Rohit Batr,

Hi,

I am a molecular biology researcher and working on my PhD project. Unfortunately, 10 days ago, someone accidently switched on UV lamps on our Lab (4Ã? 30 watts) and I exposed to UV light for at least one hour. Feeling burning and some pain on my eyes, I noticed what eas happened. I consulted with ophthalmologist and dermatologist and got chloramphenicol eye drops and DermiAid 1% cream. According to doctors, even though I am not affected severely, but I still have painful skin and troubling left eye. My main concern is what are the first symptoms of developing skin cells to cancer? Moreover, finding these signs sooner than usual can help me to prevent cancer?

Thanks for giving me helpful consults,

Ali
