各种地球物理因素被归咎于在红海沿岸发现的一种罕见的致盲疾病。科学探索协会的一个小型探险队在英国皇家军事科学院的支持下，利用了他们的实验室，参观了Dahlak群岛。在那里，人们发现，在某些地区，人眼受到相对较高的短紫外线辐射（SUVR）剂量。这不仅适用于总的紫外线辐射，而且适用于从白色珊瑚砂反射的比例，特别是当被盐污染时。居民的日常活动，他们的生活依赖于潜水和捕鱼，在没有阴影的岛屿上，以及天气条件，有助于间接证据的复杂性，强烈支持以下观点，即称为气候性角膜病的条件是由角膜暴露部分的累积效应引起的，特别是在那里发现的范围内- 290至310 nm。对这些岛屿和厄立特里亚大陆的表土样本进行了实验室工作。在不同情况下使用紫外线传感器和探测器来增加信息。本文放大了发表在《英国眼科杂志》上的关于Dahlak失明的临床论文。
Various geophysical factors have been blamed as the cause of a rare blinding disease found in the Red Sea littora. A small expedition of the Scientific Exploration Society backed by The Royal Military College of Science in England, whose laboratories were utilised, visited the Dahlak group of islands. There it was discovered that in some areas human eyes are subjected to relatively high short ultra‐violet radiation (SUVR) doses. This was true not only for total integrated ultra‐violet radiation but also in the case of that proportion reflected from white coral sand especially when contaminated with salt. The day‐long activities of the inhabitants, whose living depends on diving and fishing, in islands without shade, as well as the weather conditions, contribute to a complexity of circumstantial evidence strongly supporting the view that the condition known as climatic keratopathy arises from the cumulative effect on the exposed part of cornea, especially in the range discovered there — 290 to 310 nm. Laboratory work was carried out on samples of topsoil on the islands and in the mainland of Eritrea. Ultra‐violet sensors and detectors were used under different circumstances to augment the information. This paper amplifies the clinical paper on Dahlak blindness published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
