Glenn A. Fry Award Lecture--1977. The ocular effects of ultraviolet radiation.
The author reviews the previous known effects of UV radiation on the eye together with results obtained on human and animal eyes in his laboratory during the past 11 years. Damage to the cornea and lens is assessed, classified, and discussed. Methods of calculating safe UV exposures and establishing characteristics of protective devices are presented.
