Question:

Can being in the too much without sunglasses cause an eye stigmitism?


Answers:

Do you mean... can being in the sun too much without UV protection cause astigmatism?
No... UV rays do not cause astigmatism!
When your eyes have too much exposure to UV rays it can cause such growths as pterygium and pinguecula! It can also cause snowblindness and the early onset of cataracts and even the development of macular degeneration as some studies have found! It is very important to protect your eyes when outside with sunglasses that have full UV protection to prevent damage to your eyes!!!!
If you would like here is a picture of what pterygium can look like: http://www.drespinosa.com/pterygium.jpg...
