Global atmospheric changes such as depletion of ozone in the stratosphere are thought to lead to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation on earth. This can have adverse effects on human health, and long-term effects of ultraviolet light on the eye are of increasing concern. Ultraviolet light exposure to the eye has been associated with cataract formation and retinal degeneration. In both cases, it is hypothesized that ultraviolet light can initiate formation of free radicals, which can cause protein modification and lipid peroxidation. Several procedures can be recommended to prevent ultraviolet light damage to the eye, such as the use of suitable protective glasses when outdoors.
诸如平流层臭氧消耗等全球大气变化被认为会导致地球上紫外线辐射水平增加。这可能对人类健康产生不利影响，而紫外线对眼睛的长期影响日益受到关注。眼睛暴露于紫外线已与白内障形成和视网膜变性有关。在这两种情况下，据推测紫外线可引发自由基的形成，而自由基会导致蛋白质修饰和脂质过氧化。可以推荐几种预防紫外线对眼睛造成损害的方法，比如在户外时佩戴合适的防护眼镜。
