I have been using the uvb lamp but I am afraid to use it around my sensitive eye area. Is it safe to use under the eyes? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Dont use the UVB lamp near eyes..i have very bad experience using it for eye area..
One time I didnt use the protective glasses as i have vit around eyes...And was foolish to open my eyes for sometime(may b a minute or so) and stare at the lamp ...After an hour or so, my eyes started welling up and i started getting feeling like some sand has fallen into my eyes....it started feeling worse . I couldn't actually open my eyes after 2 hours or so because the irritation was too much . I was rushed to hospital and the doctors explained that retina has been inflamed. They gave some eye drops and i was fortunately ok after a day or so. I am not sure, if it is because I opened my eyes and stared right at the lamp or even if i had closed my eye the entire time, this would have happened. Why take a risk with eyes?
