The worker was diagnosed with light ophthalmia (burn of conjunctiva, cornea and retina due to the exposure to very bright light). With a treatment with eye drops it is anticipated that the worker's vision will be fully restored in a few weeks.
Pulkovo Airport reported: "On the night of February 24, an employee of the enterprise was sent from Pulkovo airport to an eye trauma center.
