Treatment for photokeratitis

Treatment for photokeratitis focuses on relieving discomfort and preventing further eye damage. Usually, this involves resting the eyes and avoiding bright light. Eye drops or ointments with lubricants can soothe irritation, while anti-inflammatory medications may reduce pain. Applying cool compresses can provide additional relief. In severe cases, a doctor might prescribe special eye drops or suggest protective eye coverings to minimize exposure to aggravating light. Most cases recover fully within a couple of days with proper care. To prevent future issues, wearing UV-protective sunglasses when outdoors is recommended.
