摘要
Optical materials that are available to the practitioner for protection of the eye against hazardous exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are discussed. Principles of protection, procedures for calculating safe ocular exposure duration, and transmittance curves of commonly prescribed spectacle lenses, contact lenses, and intraocular lenses are discussed. Suggestions are made to assist the practitioner in providing adequate protection for the patient. © 1990 American Academy of Optometry.
