People trying to kill the coronavirus with ultraviolet C germicidal lamps may risk painful eye injuries if they aren't careful, a recent study finds. The eye damage is 'like a sunburn to the cornea,' one ophthalmologist says.

People trying to kill the coronavirus with ultraviolet C germicidal lamps may risk painful eye injuries if they aren't careful, a recent study finds.

"The clear part of the surface of the eye happens to be very susceptible to the wavelength of the light from these lamps," said Dr. Jesse Sengillo, an ophthalmologist at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute of the University of Miami Health System. People who want to use the lamps should turn them on and then leave the room until it's time to turn them off, Sengillo said.

Patients have continued to trickle into the Eye Institute, Sengillo said."We have noticed that they seem to come in waves," he said."We noticed, as Covid-19 infections have increased in Miami, cases of cornea damage are starting to pick up again."Beyond Miami, it's unclear how common UVC lamp eye damage is, but the reports didn't surprise Dr. Deepinder Dhaliwal, an ophthalmologist in Pittsburgh.

Don’t do that. It will harm you.

. . . . .

I guess donnie should have been more specfic about other ways to get the powerful light inside the body. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

I thought the lights were supposed to go in the “brown” eye.

This is why I say you have to stick with the Clorox. I guarantee it will kill the virus (but it will probably kill the host first). Big a-brains just know stuff, like person, woman, man, camera, TV. My doctor said I should be working at NASA with that memory!

These people are going to fool around and blind themselves.

Well... They said masks are useless so they will try all the stupidest things. Why not inject bleach?

Wtf

Wut!

Don't stare into the sun..they even suggest thick opaque polarized lenses for eclipses. Common sense people. Wake up and live your life. Fake media and fake results plus fake concern and fake love don't work. I used to work at a mall then caught the attention of the media.Ya see?

Wear a mask

Wear shades

Just pour bleach in your eyes and you’ll be fine.

Mika Brzezinski stated President Trump “could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that is our job.”

You have to put it INSIDE your lungs like premiere Trump said! The bleach keeps it from getting infected. Amateurs...

what next, injecting bleach? Keep listening to tRump, you COVIDIOTS

Who started that dumb idea?

Obviously need more eye bleach.

By uv safe saftey glasses from walmart cheap snd stylish

this is terrible news

Stick with clörax bleach

Bring a very powerful light inside the body

anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 labour define gross economy 3 finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy

What do you think about air filters that have integrated uvc inside the device, and not exposed?

People trying to kill coronavirus with vaccine may risk what? And yes light can be ‘injected’ into people you dunces -

Is that Trumps eyes?

I mean at least they’re not eating aquarium charcoal anymore

Coming from a State in Australia that is coming out of our 2nd wave,0 cases for 27 days I know the C19 experience. We had a curfew, masks, restrictions on hospitality and retail, these actions work,no miracles, low cost, major benefits.I get the issues, I implore you do similar.

Just don't do this people it's a scam.

Where the hell did they get this ridiculous idea?

More stupidity

wow

AskAWelder

Next epidemic in America that needs sorting out is the widespread stupidity

I wonder who’s brilliant Idea this was in the first Place ?

🤦🏻‍♀️

Just looking at the pictures is affecting my eyes

Idiots. 🙄

How stupid!

If injecting bleach doesn’t work, I guess.

Darwin at work

lol

👎🏿👇🇺🇸

F' them I'd they are that stupid. Darwin has this.

These people are the reason we need warning labels on buckets.

Well duh. That’s why we’re not supposed to look at the sun.

in related news moron are still alive and in greater number that we thought.....

I'm continually amazed at how stupid some people are

This is what happens when we underfund education.

Use sunlight for 30 min a day, it's free and gives you vitamin D and K. And of course an excellent diet and you will see how the immune system becomes very high.

Way to go Trump

Duh, you're supposed to get the light INSIDE your body. Didn't any of these people listen to Trump?

trump supporters had fish bowl cleaner, democrats have this...

Protective spectacles are easy ....

What numbskulls are doing this?

Caralho as pessoas preferem acreditar numa besteira dessa do q ficar em casa, usar máscara e lavar a mão

Trump supporters no doubt lol..

Really now? Like seriously. First inject using bleach or something like that. Now this? 🙄

Sounds like the people who follow the guy who stared at the sun during the eclipse.

These people are fucking insane. Who would do this?

Idiots... Trump said to put the powerful light INSIDE the body🙄🤡

People in Florida trying this.. lol

Here’s a clue. The MEDIA is the way this shit is spread. Our local news just claimed you can reduce symptoms of Covid-19 by having Stomach reduction surgery. They got reported for false information that can lead to harm. I would caution ALL of you do the same.

there are special protective glasses that must be sold with the lamp! how stupid

or, wear a mask and stand more than 6’ away from people

Elect a government that politicizes and demonizes science and this is what happens.

I have no sympathy for stupid people.

Since American started to wear masks the Covid-19 infection rate has skyrocketed - The inconvenient truth the mainstream media and leftists desperately don’t want you to know.

Where the hell would someone get an idea like this?!

What Gee.. stupid to the core.
