uvex UV400 400 350 300 250 UVB UVA HEV uvex UV400 100% UV protection. 100% safety. 100% uvex. “The reasons why the WHO recommends UV400 protection are clear. The outer tissues of the eye, cornea and lens fully absorb UV light. While UVB light primarily damages the genetic material, UVA rays pene- trate deeper, cause thermal damage and magnify the effects of UVB light.” Univ.-Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Olaf Strauß uvex UV400 offers complete protection against UVA and UVB radiation as well as high-energy visible light (HEV) up to a wavelength 400 nm. For the eye and surrounding skin 100% protection against dangerous UVA and UVB radiation Radiation in nm uvex UV400 — included in all uvex safety eyewear Whether you choose clear or tinted lenses, all uvex safety spectacles are equipped with uvex UV400 effective UV protection as standard — as well as pleasant wearer comfort, a sporty design and top-quality lens coatings. Even without sun, UV rays can still put strain on the eye When working outdoors, your eyes are regularly exposed to harmful UV radiation — even when it is cloudy. The result: using insufficient protection risks may cause dangerous long-term damage such as corneal injury, cataracts and blindness. 100% safety. uvex safety eyewear, uvex UV400 not only filters 100% of UVA rays (20% still passes through 380 nm lenses), it also completely minimises temperature-induced cell changes — a factor which increases tenfold in the percentage of total cell damage in the range from 380 to 400 nm. In addition, the dangerous, damaging blue light content (HEV), which is also harmful to the retina, is reduced by 15%. The EN166/170 standard requires safety eyewear to provide UV protection up to 380 nm. The latest scientific findings show that this is not enough. The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends UV protection up to 400 nm. 26
