Abstract
This paper presents a review of ultraviolet induced corneal effects which have been observed in the primate eye. Data discussed include the action spectra for far- and near-UV induced corneal damage, the pulsewidth dependence and oxygen dependence of near-UV corneal thresholds, and recovery rates of corneal epithelial damage following ultraviolet induced cell lethality. In addition, retinal photoreceptor damage induced by near-UV radiation is described.Keywords
