Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation has been linked, at some point, with more than a dozen eye diseases. Some of these associations are based solely on anecdotes, while others have been subjected to epidemiological investigations. For each eye disease, the evidence for an association with ultraviolet radiation is presented and evaluated. The only eye disease for which there is sufficient evidence of a causal association in humans is photokeratitis. For several eye diseases (climatic droplet keratopathy, pterygium, cataract) there is limited evidence for an association, while for other diseases (uveal melanoma, macular degeneration) there is either little support for an association or inadequate data on which to base an assessment.
在某些情况下，暴露于太阳紫外线辐射已与十几种眼部疾病相关联。其中一些关联仅仅基于传闻，而其他关联则经过了流行病学调查。针对每种眼部疾病，都列出并评估了与紫外线辐射相关联的证据。在人类中，唯一有充分证据证明存在因果关联的眼部疾病是光角膜炎。对于几种眼部疾病（气候性点状角膜病变、翼状胬肉、白内障），存在有限的关联证据，而对于其他疾病（葡萄膜黑色素瘤、黄斑变性），要么几乎没有关联支持，要么缺乏用于评估的数据。
