- Excessive UV exposure results in a number of chronic skin changes. These include various skin cancers of which melanoma is the most life-threatening.
- UV exposure of the eye depends on many factors: ground reflection, the degree of brightness in the sky leading to activation of the squint reflex, the amount of atmospheric reflection, and the use of eyewear.
