Effects of Ophthalmic Lens Properties and Spectrophotometer Type on Ultraviolet Cutoff Specification

Abstract

The U.S. Military Combat Eye Protection (MCEP) system and prescription lenses use multiple lens materials. The purposes of this study were to examine effects of different ophthalmic lens properties (i.e., material, thickness, and curvature) on the ultraviolet (UV) spectral transmittance cutoff wavelength (UV cutoff) and compare the performance of instruments used for measuring the UV cutoff wavelength.
