Can UV Radiation-Blocking Soft Contact Lenses Attenuate UV Radiation to Safe Levels During Summer Months in the Southern United States?

Abstract

The efficacy of the model used in this study was verified through direct comparison of the modeled and measured data. UV-blocking hydrogel soft contact lenses reduce the MED to the human eye and therefore limit the lifetime ocular dose. These lenses are highly recommended to prevent the development of UVR-related ocular pathologic conditions.
