What the sun did to the face of a veteran truck driver
This is a 69-year-old man who drove a truck for 28 years, and was thus only exposed to the sun on the left side of his face. The New England Journal of Medicine offers a detailed medical description of his condition and recommends “the use of sun protection and topical retinoids [Vitamin A creams] and periodic monitoring for skin cancer.”

Doc Connors?
wow, makes me think. i am not a truck driver, but do, a lot of driving throughout the day…..
Now he should move to Australia to drive a truck and even his face up! :)

I bet he has noise-induced hearing loss in that left ear too. Another occupational hazard for truck drivers.
Unfortunately, the people this story will benefit – young women who go to tanning beds and the tanning bed industry – will still deny the effects of the sun on skin.
This would be why I carry a parasol :)
Wow, always noticed my left arm being darker, but never thought about my face. Thank goodness foundation has SPF in it. It’s kind of odd that his right eye needs blepharoplasty but his left eye is more toned. Poor guy…
My guess would be that his left eye was so bad that insurance covered having it fixed but the right side would be considered “cosmetic” and therefore not covered.

Freaky sun damage aside, he’s got strikingly beautiful eyes.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Haha

Ever heard of sunscreen?
