Guly, Henry R.. 2012 Snow blindness and other eye problems during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 23 (1). 77-82. 10.1016/j.wem.2011.10.006

Abstract
During the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, snow blindness was a common problem, but not all the descriptions of it lit the modern view of the disease, and some of the explorers complained of long-term problems. This article describes the snow blindness and other eye problems that occurred during this era. It also describes how snow blindness was prevented and treated.
