snow-blindness
Snow-blindness, also known as photokeratitis, is a temporary, painful eye condition caused by overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays reflected off the snow or ice. Symptoms typically include feelings of grittiness, sensitivity to light, excessive tearing, and impaired vision. It is essentially a sunburn of the eyes and usually resolves on its own with rest and avoidance of further UV exposure.
