TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Snow blindness and other eye problems during the heroic age of antarctic exploration JO - Wilderness and environmental medicine A1 - Guly, Henry R. SP - 77 EP - 82 VL - 23 IS - 1 N2 - During the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, snow blindness was a common problem, but not all the descriptions of it fit the modern view of the disease, and some of the explorers complained of long-term problems. This article describes the snow blindness and other eye problems that occurred during this era. It also describes how snow blindness was prevented and treated.
