1. Corneal Flash Burns: Understanding the Impact on Eye Health
Corneal flash burns are a type of eye injury that occurs when the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, is exposed to intense ultraviolet (UV) light.

Understanding corneal flash burns is crucial because they can lead to significant discomfort and, in severe cases, long-term vision problems.
