A number of protective lenses are available to prevent ocular injury from wavelength spectrum generated by visible light. Four of the five lenses tested absorbed virtually all of the radiation transmitted in the 200 to 800 nm level. Protective eyewear should be used when blue and ultraviolet light-curing units are involved.
