Reading some comments I thought I'd reply.
The real problem isn't so much in the winter (ski season). It's in the summer but there's still snow on the ground. You get the summer sun twice. From above and again when it bounces off the snow and up into your eyes.
The effect is like a sunburn in your eyes. I had it once hiking in the mountains (summer) and going over a longish section of snow.
If it's anything like what you get from welding without protection, it can reach very remarkable levels of suck
Like cateracts.
imagine having even moderately light sensitive eyes as well. You literally wouldn't be able to open your eyes at all. Couldn't see for shit.
