2:31Now PlayingThe La Soufriere volcano on the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines began a series of eruptions on April 9, 2021 sending lots of hot ash into the air. Since then it has erupted multiple times over the past few days and as a result, here in Saint Lucia we are feeling the effects of the explosion by the presence of ash fall and dust which is a health hazard. Air polluted by ash can leave the eyes feeling uncomfortable and irritated.
Frequent concerns include:
- Corneal abrasions
- Acute conjunctivitis or the inflammation of the conjunctiva which leads to redness - Burning of the eyes
- Photosensitivity
- Foreign body sensation
- Eyes can become painful, itchy or bloodshot
- Sticky discharge and lots of tearing can be experienced
