Toxic External Exposure Leading to Ocular Surface Injury

The surface of the eye is directly exposed to the external environment, protected only by a thin tear film, and may therefore be damaged by contact with ambient particulate matter, liquids, aerosols, or vapors. In the workplace or home, the eye is subject to accidental or incidental exposure to cleaning products and pesticides. Organic matter may enter the eye and cause infection. Ocular surface damage can trigger a range of symptoms such as itch, discharge, hyperemia, photophobia, blurred vision, and foreign body sensation. Toxin exposure can be assessed clinically in multiple ways, including via measurement of tear production, slit-lamp examination, corneal staining, and conjunctival staining. At the cellular level, environmental toxins can cause oxidative damage, apoptosis of corneal and conjunctival cells, cell senescence, and impaired motility. Outcomes range from transient and reversible with complete healing to severe and sight-compromising structural changes. Classically, evaluation of tolerance and safety was carried out using live animal testing; however, new in vitro and computer-based, in silico modes are superseding the gold standard Draize test. This review examines how environmental features such as pollutants, temperature, and seasonality affect the ocular surface. Chemical burns to the eye are considered, and approaches to protect the ocular surface are detailed.

“…However, huge change in urban pattern has also brought many environmental problems to the city, including global warming ( Wang et al, 2022a , Yuan et al, 2022 ), air pollution ( Zhu et al, 2021 , Zhu et al, 2019 ), biodiversity declines ( Ruas et al, 2022 , Wang et al, 2022b ) and other global issues. Especially, global warming endangers the balance of the natural ecosystem ( Schirpke and Ebner, 2022 , Zhang et al, 2022a ), causes natural disasters ( Bouchard et al, 2022 ) and threats to the survival and health of humans ( Xing et al, 2022 ), which seriously threatened the survival of human beings ( Liu et al, 2022 ).…”
