The Sun and the Eyes

Keywords: eyesight degeneration, macular degeneration, droplet keratopathy, sunburn to the eye, solar maculopathy, photokeratitis, light sensitivity, cataracts, non-cancerous growth, eye cancer.

Abstract: If you expose your eyes to the sun, a photochemical reaction in proteins and the DNA occurs. Too much exposure to UV radiation temporarily or permanently alters the function of cell components. In the short-term tiny blood vessels can burst and redden the eyes. Inflammation of the eyes (e.g. snow blindness) may follow. While these effects are reversible, further exposure can lead to permanent damage. Damage to the light sensitive nerves in the retina and macula affects peripheral and central vision. Overexposure is a known cause for the clouding of eye lenses, otherwise known as cataracts. UV radiation can change the genetic information stored within the human DNA and may initiate cancer.
