Do you spend time skiing, mountain climbing or at the beach?

Do you use a sunlamp or tanning parlor?

Do you live in the mountains or the U.S. Sunbelt?

Are you a welder, medical technologist or do you work in the graphic arts or in the manufacture of electronic circuit boards?

Do you take prescription or over-the-counter drugs that can increase your sensitivity to UV radiation (check with your optometrist, pharmacist, or physician)?

Have you had cataract surgery in one or both eyes?
