| Saigon - Da Lat Eye Hospital promptly provided emergency care to Mr. Vuong Q. H (60 years old, Da Lat City) who suffered from acute keratoconjunctivitis due to accidentally looking too long at the UV-C lamp while changing the water in the fish tank at home. |
Specifically, Mr. Vuong QH (60 years old, Da Lat City) suffered from acute keratoconjunctivitis due to accidentally looking too long at a UV-C lamp while changing the water in a fish tank at home. This type of lamp emits strong ultraviolet rays, which can kill bacteria but also cause severe damage to the eyes if not shielded. Thanks to timely examination and treatment by resident doctor Huynh Thi Xuan Thao - Head of the General Ophthalmology Department, the patient's vision quickly recovered.
According to Dr. Huynh Thi Xuan Thao, the harmful effects of UV rays on the eyes depend on the duration and intensity of exposure. In the short term, UV rays can cause dry, irritated eyes, inflammation or burns of the conjunctiva and cornea, causing pain, watery eyes and photophobia. If exposed for a long time and at high intensity, UV rays can cause cataracts, damage to the retinal nerve, reduce vision and even lead to blindness. In addition, UV rays also increase the risk of cancer of the eyelids and the skin around the eyes.
Therefore, doctors recommend that people should not look directly at the UV light when it is on. When using UV devices, turn off the power or wear protective glasses and promptly go to the appropriate medical facility for examination if there are any abnormal signs in the eyes.

Dr. Huynh Thi Xuan Thao - Head of the General Ophthalmology Department, Saigon Da Lat Eye Hospital shared: “Secretions from insects can cause inflammation, corneal burns, even scarring or blindness if handled incorrectly. Especially in the summer, when many species of insects thrive. People need to wear protective glasses when working outdoors and go to a specialized medical facility immediately if their eyes are exposed to something strange. It is recommended that outdoor workers wear protective glasses, especially in the summer when insects are active.
According to Saigon - Da Lat Eye Hospital, whether it is an accident in daily life or at work, eye injuries always need to be treated properly and promptly.
