It's not just cancer right? UV light will damage those sensitive photoreceptor cells, so you would end up seeing less and less of anything over those couple of decades. Even non-UV blue light is hard for the eyes to deal with. Personally I'd just prefer wearing glasses that shift the UV to some other part of the spectrum.

Does this exist? I thought those kinds of non-linear effects only happen at extremely high fields (e.g. with a very fast pulsed laser to concentrate energy in time)


No, at least not without active electronics.


Fluorescence?
