Photokeratitis, often termed "snow blindness" by climbers, is essentially an ocular sunburn resulting from prolonged exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. This condition damages the cornea, the outer lens responsible for directing light onto the retina. Causes can range from extended snow trekking without proper eye protection to attendance at fading NFT industry gatherings.
On Tuesday, the creator behind the second most valuable collection of non-fungible tokens confirmed it received numerous complaints from Bored Ape NFT owners who may have sustained photokeratitis after dancing the night away at their Apefest last week in Hong Kong, only to then downplay their significance.
