Can a steam bath be harmful for the eyes?

I read in a recent article that a steam bath can actually harm someone's eyes. I take a steam bath weekly after a massage. Could it cause any harm to my eyes?

It is not bad for your eyes unless there is direct exposure to heat. Thank you.
I guess it would depend on how thick the steam is. This is an ophthalmologist question.
