Abstract

Background: By identifying diseases of the anterior segment of the eye associated with exposure to UV light, recommendations for action can be derived.

Aim: After reading this review, the reader should be familiar with UV light-associated diseases of the anterior segment of the eye.

Method: Using a selective literature search, UV light-associated diseases of the anterior segment of the eye were identified and protective mechanisms are described.

Results: The UV light-associated lesions of the anterior segment of the eye include basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, malignant melanoma of the eyelids and conjunctiva, pterygium, keratoconjunctivitis photoelectrica and climatic droplet keratopathy as well as cortical cataract.

Conclusion: Eyeglasses for filtering UV light, sunglasses and special safety glasses, such as welding helmets and wearing headgear protect against UV light exposure to the anterior segment of the eye and the associated diseases.

[因暴露于紫外线辐射而引起的眼睛前段的改变]。

背景:通过识别与紫外线照射有关的眼睛前段疾病，可以得出行动建议。目的:在阅读了这篇综述后，读者应该熟悉紫外线相关的眼睛前段疾病。方法:通过选择性文献检索，确定了眼睛前段紫外线相关疾病，并描述了其保护机制。结果:眼前段紫外光相关病变包括基底细胞癌、鳞状细胞癌、眼睑及结膜恶性黑色素瘤、翼状胬肉、角膜结膜炎、光电性、气候性角膜液滴病、皮质性白内障等。结论:过滤紫外线的眼镜、太阳镜和特殊的安全眼镜，如焊接头盔和戴头套，可防止紫外线照射眼睛前段及相关疾病的发生。

期刊介绍： Der Ophthalmologe is an internationally recognized journal dealing with all aspects of ophthalmology. The journal serves both the scientific exchange and the continuing education of ophthalmologists. Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve scientific exchange. Case reports feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Comprehensive reviews on a specific topical issue focus on providing evidenced based information on diagnostics and therapy. Review articles under the rubric ''Continuing Medical Education'' present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice.
