A famous medical photograph published in the New England Journal of Medicine depicting a 69-year-old truck driver with severe, asymmetrical sun damage (unilateral dermatoheliosis) on the left side of his face. The image serves as a striking visual demonstration of the aging effects of long-term, occupational exposure to Ultraviolet-A (UVA) radiation through a vehicle window.
