Note: equivalent sunlight exposure in other latitude zones and tropical area are defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(2)          for papilloma of the conjunctiva only, acquiring persistent infection of the epithelium of the conjunctiva with a strain from the specified list of human papilloma virus (HPV) strains before the clinical onset of benign neoplasm of the eye and adnexa;

(3)          for schwannoma of the eye and adnexa only, having received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.1 sievert of ionising radiation to the eye or orbit at least five years before the clinical onset of benign neoplasm of the eye and adnexa;
