If you have developed a basal cell carcinoma you probably have susceptible skin and should be careful about sun exposure. Sun exposure plays a large role in the development of BCC on the eyelids. People who live in sunnier climates , like our country with 250 sunny days, or who spend time outdoors due to work or hobbies are more likely to have BCC on the eyelids.
