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. |
