研究目的
To determine the amount of optical radiation transmission and level of attenuation by eyeglasses in the wavelength range of 200nm to 900nm and its effects on the human eye.
研究成果
All the eyeglasses under study transmit portion(s) of the UV radiation with varying degrees of intensities. The lens’colour and material type significantly contribute in the transmission and absorption of optical radiation. Dark coloured eyeglasses with plastic lenses would be less damaging to the eye than dark eyeglasses with glass lens materials. None of the glasses could block 100% UV radiation with 400nm cut off, posing a great danger to the human eyes as a result of exposure to UV radiation or blue light.
研究不足
The research was limited to the wavelength range of 200nm to 900nm due to equipment limitation. The study did not consider the chemical composition of the lens material, which could provide more insight on the interaction of radiation with eyeglasses.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Twenty pairs of eyeglasses were selected based on systematic random sampling to determine the amount of optical radiation transmission and level of attenuation by eyeglasses, in the wavelength range of 200nm to 900nm using 6405 UV/VIS spectrophotometer.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial eyeglasses of different colours (colourless, brown, blue, gray, Purple, darkcolours) were purchased within Zaria markets, Nigeria. All samples were cut to a standard size of 1cm by 4cm to properly fit into the chamber of the spectrophotometer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
6405 UV/VIS spectrophotometer, micrometre screw gauge.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Measurements were carried out on the eyeglasses with the spectrophotometer set to measure %Transmittance from
5:0nm to 0nm at 0nm intervals. The linear attenuation coefficient, absorbance, and reflectance were calculated for each sample. Data Analysis Methods:
2 The average %transmittance was calculated for each region of the optical radiation (UVR, VR, IRR) for each sample.
