Spent years on the ocean working aboard ships, spent days outside all day no shirt in the tropics, followed with racing sailboats all day on the salt water, staring into the sun looking for changes in the wind patterns. .
I get annual skin checks AND have watch for growing CATARACTS, which I first noticed while on my first ship coming back from Chile. . . UV light and very short wavelength light are known damagers of corneas. .
My twilight night vision is noticably worse, and so driving at night takes a lot more concentration. Just found the drive on the Garden State on the way down here much more difficult between background lights, oncoming lights, and worn lane markings.
