UV Damage Leads to Cataract at Young Age

Reported 5 months ago

A young man who loves outdoor activities such as mountain climbing and surfing was diagnosed with photokeratitis caused by severe UV damage to his cornea. If proper protection is not taken, cataracts may develop prematurely. With the increasing number of people suffering from UV-related eye damage, including cataracts, eye care professionals recommend habits like wearing sunglasses and hats, avoiding smoking, regular eye check-ups, and controlling metabolic syndromes to prevent early onset of cataracts.
