Abstract

Every day, across the world’s coastlines, millions of individuals enter the ocean in pursuit of recreation, connection, and challenge. From surfers waiting in stillness for the next wave to divers submerged just beneath the glittering surface, these individuals are uniquely positioned at the intersection of two environmental factors, sunlight and seawater, that may, in combination and over time, adversely affect ocular health.
