  ABSTRACT: Importance Conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence (CUVAF) has excellent potential as an objective biomarker of sun exposure. However, much variation in CUVAF is observed and the relative contribution of genes and environment to this variation has not yet been identified. Objective CUVAF photography was developed to detect and characterise pre-clinical sunlight-induced ocular damage. Ocular sun exposure has been related to cases of pterygia and also recently negatively correlated with myopia. We investigated sources of variation in CUVAF in relation to its potential clinical relevance. Design Cross-sectional analysis of three population-based cohort studies: Twins Eye Study in Tasmania, Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study and Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study. Settin
