title: [Eye burns caused by wolf's milk].
abstract: If the sap of Euphorbia inadvertently gets in the eye, it can cause conjunctivitis, keratitis or iritis. Therapy consists of rinsing, antibiotics, steroids and mydriatics when the anterior chamber is inflamed. It may also be necessary to protect the damaged eye from light, because photoallergic reactions are possible.
