Protect eyes from radiation with anti-radiation glasses

Radiation from sunlight or excessive use of devices can cause eye irritation. Therefore, it is important to wear radiation glasses to protect eye health, especially if you often sunbathe or wear the device for a long time.

The eye is a very important organ for life. With a pair of eyes, one can see the world around him. If not treated and cared for properly, the eyes can be damaged and cause vision problems. Therefore, we must ensure that the eyes remain healthy and protected.

This type of radiation can damage the eyes.

Radiation is energy waves or high-speed particles, which can occur naturally or artificially. The following types of radiation are harmful to eye health:

Ultraviolet light

The sun's ultraviolet radiation is one of the main causes of eye damage. Ultraviolet light is divided into three types, namely UVA, UVB and UVC. The types of ultraviolet radiation that can cause negative effects on vision are UVA and UVB rays.

Eyes that are too often exposed to both types of solar radiation can experience various diseases, such as photokeratitis (inflammation of the cornea of the eye due to excessive sun exposure), pterygium, eye cancer, cataracts and macular degeneration.

Computers and gadgets

Blue lights or blue lights that come from computer screens, laptops, or other devices should cause eye irritation. Too much time in front of the screen of this electronic device can cause it to rarely blink and cause dry and tired eyes.

Some studies also mention that blue light from the device can ultimately cause damage to the cornea, lens and retina of the eye. However, this still needs further research.

Nuclear radiation

Nuclear radiation is widely used in the medical world to treat and diagnose certain diseases. Nuclear radiation is used in x-rays and computed tomography, as well as radiation therapy to treat cancer.

However, excessive or excessive exposure to nuclear radiation can cause health risks, such as cancer, impaired growth and development in children, and damage to body tissues and cells, including eye cells and skin cells.

Tips for choosing radiation glasses
Radiation eyewear products on the market are generally only for protection against ultraviolet rays and radiation from the device. Meanwhile, anti-nuclear radiation glasses and X-rays are not sold freely and are generally used by medical workers who work near nuclear radiation transmitters.

Radiation glasses are specially designed, so that they are different from ordinary eyeglass lenses. The following are some tips for choosing good anti-radiation glasses:

1. Able to eliminate radiation

Plastic or glass lenses basically can only remove a little ultraviolet light, but the addition of a special layer to the lens is a way to eliminate ultraviolet light completely.

Therefore, when choosing sunglasses, you must ensure that they are equipped with a special coating that can counteract ultraviolet radiation. Prioritize coatings that can prevent radiation by 99-100 percent or labeled at 400 nm.

2. Made with a good lens

Make sure the radiation glasses lens has been designed correctly. How to try it easy. Wear glasses and hold the glasses at the ideal distance from your sight and see square or straight lines when closing one eye.

Move the glass slowly from side to side, and up and down. If the line still looks straight, then your lens is a good lens.

3. Has a polarized lens

Sunglasses with polarized lenses (polarized lenses) can help reduce sunlight reflected by glass, mirrors, roads or standing water. Therefore, for the convenience of daytime activities, it is recommended to wear anti-radiation glasses with polarized lenses.

4. Has a large frame and lens

In addition to ensuring that the glasses you buy can protect against ultraviolet radiation, you should also consider the frame and size of the glasses you choose. Glasses with a larger frame and lens are considered able to cover the area around the eyes well.

Protecting the eyes from excessive radiation exposure is a way to maintain eye health. In addition to limiting the use of the device and resting your eyes from time to time when working in front of a computer screen, you are also advised to use radiation glasses when outdoors outside during the day.

If you are still confused in choosing the type of radiation eyewear, you can consult with an eye specialist. Your doctor will suggest the choice of glasses that suit your eye condition and daily activities.
