With a slight frown, Hua Biao stuck the bamboo pole he was holding into the ground, then walked backward while saying, "You always carry a pen, right? Take it out and give it to me."
"Huh? Why do you need a pen?" Tang Xiaoquan was completely baffled and really didn't want to take off his gloves to fetch the pen in this freezing weather.
"You're seeing things, those are signs of snow blindness syndrome. If you don't do something about it, the consequences could be severe."
"Snow blindness syndrome!?" Tang Xiaoquan silently repeated the term, vaguely recalling hearing it in an exploration program once.
Upon reflection, it seems that this condition is caused by inflammation due to UV rays reflected by the snow damaging the corneal and conjunctival epithelium.
Mild symptoms include blurred vision and swollen eyelids, while severe cases involve light sensitivity, tearing, and inability to open the eyes.
Walking outdoors with opened eyes presents an immense danger at this time.
