Abstract
This review examines the scientific evidence for and against the role of environmental factors such as acute and accumulative ultraviolet radiation and visible light exposure as causative factors in the development of a spectrum of eye diseases. Displasia and neoplasia are more common in sunny areas and may be due to ultraviolet B radiation. Pale skin, pale iris and a history of squamous cell carcinoma or solar keratoses indicate at-risk patients. Ocular cancer may have an annual age-adjusted incidence between 0.6 per 100,000 and 0.9 per 100,000 for the male population and between 0.5 per 100,000 and 0.8 per 100,000 for the female population.
