May be ozone hole problem is responsible for cataract or age-related macular degeneration, but dominantly aging population, life habbits, food, etc. for exponencially growing cases of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma ans overindulgence of cellphones, computers for refractive errors.

The reduced ozone layer has let in high power radiation into our eyes, a phenomenon that has not happened before since the ozone layer was created some 400 million years ago. Now our eyes are vulnerable to damage.
The climate change has only changed the composition of the air, but none of the gases in the air can do damage to our eyes.
There are some differences in reasons from one country to another. For example, the incidence of cataract vision is higher in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries. Diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration, for example, are more common in high-income countries.
Certainly, increased UV has significantly affected the increase of eye diseases in different parts of the world.

I agree with Michael that The reduced ozone layer has let in high power radiation into our eyes,So a phenomenon that has not happened before since the ozone layer was created some 400 million years ago. Now our eyes are vulnerable to damage.

Any environmental and climate change may predispose the individual to sight loss due to the body producing more oxygen radical .
I don't think so. There may be some indirect relationship of climate change with eye disease. But I can't see any direct relationship between these two.
Due to ozone hole UV rays penetrate high which cause
Skin diseases
Eye irritation not blindness
Respiratory problems
