What causes snow blindness?

Snow blindness, also known as photokeratitis, is caused by the reflection of ultraviolet (UV) rays off of snow or ice, leading to damage to the cornea of the eye. This condition is similar to sunburn on the skin, but it affects the eyes. Symptoms include pain, redness, tearing, and temporary vision loss.
