  • Title: Evaluation of light transmission characteristics of protective eyeglasses for visible light-curing units.
    Author: Fan PL, Wozniak WT, McGill S, Moser JB, Stanford JW.
    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1986 Nov; 113(5):770-2. PubMed ID: 3465792.
    Abstract:
    Eyeglasses with protective filters are recommended for users of visible light-curing units to decrease the intensity of blue light reaching the eyes. The transmission curves of 20 commercially available filter glasses are obtained. The irradiance from eight curing units through these glasses is measured. The reduction in irradiance through the filter glasses is related to the transmission curves.
