What is snow blindness?
According to Mehboob Ali, the risk of snow blindness is always present on high mountains like Nanga Parbat. To avoid this danger, special types of very good glasses are used.
He said that the light and sun that falls on the snow has a lot of shine. This creates very sharp reflexes or reflections that damage the eyes. Another reason is the strong wind that affects the upper part of the eyes. It causes eye irritation and it is impossible to open the eyes.
According to Mehboob Ali, "There are problems from time to time, especially at such a height, there are many problems." When it is not possible to open the eyes at such a height, it is a matter of danger.
According to doctors, snow blindness is a form of photokeratitis caused by ultraviolet rays reflected or reflected from snow and ice. This disease is common in the North and South Pole regions. It is completely treatable and often temporary.
It should be remembered that Nanga Parbat is the ninth-highest peak in the world, but it is considered one of the most dangerous peaks in the world. So far 86 climbers have lost their lives trying to conquer this peak. It has a fatality rate of 21 percent.
