[Role of photoreactivation in case of corneal damage from ultraviolet radiation].

Experimentally, the role of photoreactivation in appearance of ultraviolet lesions of corneal epithelium has been studied in white rats. The lesions were induced by ultraviolet radiation, 0.28 mcm wavelength, and intensive (20000 lx) light of a xenon lamp with light filters was used as a reactivating light. The damaging dose as a reactivating light. The damaging dose of ultraviolet radiation by photokeratitis criterion was 11 +/- 2.4 mJ.cm-2. Simultaneous illumination of the animal eye by the damaging ultraviolet light and reactivating radiation exceeded a damaging threshold to 18 +/- 4.0 mJ.cm-2. The results obtained have convincingly shown, that photoreactivation, as a phenomenon, manifested itself in the corneal epithelium and was detected by biomicroscopy of the eye with epithelium staining by a 1% fluorescein solution.

[Protection of the human skin and eyes against solar UV-radiation].

Methods of skin and eye protection from solar UV-radiation are described. Data concerning UV-ray absorption by different types of clothing as well as various ointments, including new agents, are presented. When considering possibilities of eye protection from UV-radiation, characteristics of different filters are discussed, Soviet-made sun-glasses are listed, and eye protection drugs are indicated. In this context, approaches to eye protection of pilots and cosmonauts are outlined.

[Damage to the skin and eyes from solar UV-radiation].

Skin and eye injuries induced by solar UV-radiation are discussed. Penetration of this radiation into the skin, mechanisms of skin erythema and pigmentation as well as skin burns are described. The spectral sensitivity of the skin to UV-rays of different wavelengths as well as threshold doses are presented. Emergence of UV-radiation induced eye injuries, their clinical picture and threshold doses of deleterious effects which produce injuries of the eye conjunctiva, cornea, and core are described.
