Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) has a well-established causative influence within the aetiology of conditions of the skin and the anterior segment of the eye. However, a grounded assessment of the role of UVR within conditions of the retina has a been hampered by a historical lack of quantitative, and spectrally resolved, assessment of how UVR impacts upon the retina in terms congruent with contemporary theories of ageing.

In this review, we sought to summarise the key findings of research investigating the connection between UVR exposure in retinal cytopathology while identifying necessary avenues for future research which can deliver a deeper understanding of UVR's place within the retinal risk landscape.

紫外线辐射 (UVR) 在皮肤和眼前节病症的病因学中具有明确的致病影响。然而，由于历史上缺乏与当代衰老理论相一致的紫外线对视网膜影响的定量和光谱解析评估，阻碍了对紫外线在视网膜条件下作用的基础评估。

在这篇综述中，我们试图总结研究紫外线照射与视网膜细胞病理学之间的联系的主要研究结果，同时确定未来研究的必要途径，从而可以更深入地了解紫外线在视网膜风险格局中的地位。
