A squamous-cell carcinoma that affects the cornea, iris, and related tissue of the eye. The cornea is the eye tissue that is most susceptible to UV-B damage. Individuals that spend their time at beaches, working outside, or skiing at high altitudes are most prone to UV-B damage. Welders who don't protect their eyes can also suffer this fate. Some other side effects of UV-B damage are snow-blindness and inflammation of the eye-ball. [Biochemistry; v34; 11175-86; 2004.], [Bioconjugate Chemistry; v14 ; 1177-85; 2005.]
