Several friends who spent four hours enjoying a snowfall in Shenyang, Liaoning province, had to seek medical attention for blurred vision.

The men, who are from southern China, enjoyed skiing and other snow activities, but suffered from poor vision afterwards.

They were diagnosed with serious snow blindness.

Doctors are warning people to wear sunglasses as such problems have been on the rise among people who work outdoors in the country.
