Effect of ultraviolet rays and mechanism of injury to eyes

Chen Ding, Jianming Cai

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

With continued ozone deletion and increased ultraviolet application, ultraviolet(UV)induced eye injury receives more attention, especially for astronauts, residents on high elevation plateaus and other people exposed to intense beams of UV. Continuous exposure to UV can lead to damage of conjunctiva, cornea, crystalline lens and retina, which are correlated with conjunctivitis, keratitis, ocular tumor, climatic droplet keratopathy, and pterygium. This paper focuses on the effect of UV on eyes, with a systematic elaboration of UV-induced eye injury. Key words: Ultraviolet; Eye; Injury; Radiation protection
