Modern information on the mechanisms of the damaging effect of UV radiation on the skin and the eye is presented, constitutional phototype skin (according to the Fitzpatrick scale) and clinical stages of skin photoaging are described (according to R. Glogau). The range of clinical changes arising on the background of solar elastosis can vary depending on the anatomical site of the lesion and include a number of dermatoses included in the concept of solar elastosis syndromes, resulting in the development of malignant dermatoses. Depending on the type of UV exposure - sporadic short-term or systematic long-term, acute and chronic pathological processes caused by the action of UV may develop. The development of eyelid neoplasms (basal cell, metatypical, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma), solar keratosis of the conjunctiva, pterygium, cataract, and macular retinal degeneration may result from the systematic UV irradiation of the organs of vision.
