AnalytikJena UV Blocking Eyewear

Eye and face protection is essential for anyone working with ultraviolet sources. Shortwave UV radiation especially can cause delayed reaction of sunburn to unprotected eyes and skin. The eyewear also minimizes blue haze associated with the longwave ultraviolet. Analytik Jena offers spectacles, goggles and faceshields.

Spectacles are made of impact resistant polycarbonate. The top and side-shield design provides full UV protection for the eyes. Orange spectacles block blue light that can cause haze.

Goggles are constructed of specially formulated plastic, giving optimum viewing contrast and lessened eye fatigue. The lightweight design and flexible rubber trim of the goggles fit comfortably on the face, even over prescription glasses. Air vents are located on each side of the goggles to allow airflow while blocking UV. Goggles comply with ANSI-Z87.1 1986 specifications for eye and face protection devices.

Faceshields cover the face and neck area. Faceshields comply with ANSI-Z87.1 1986 specifications for eye and face protection devices.

UV Eyewear block ultraviolet radiation while providing optimum contrast in viewing and lessened eye fatigue. The UVC-503 Goggles have air vents that are located on each side of the goggles to allow air flow while blocking the ultraviolet radiation. The UVC-303 Spectacles are lightweight and fit comfortably on the face, even over prescription glasses. Side arm panels give additional eye protection. The UVC-310 (not pictured) are similar to UVC- 303 in design but are designed for blocking blue light excitation. Finally, the UVC-803 Faceshield covers the neck and face area.

Important: UV Eyewear is intended to protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted from UV lamps. The Eyewear is designed for eye protection from lamps emitting wavelengths of 254nm to 365nm (nanometers). These UV Blocking Eyewear also reduce longwave ultraviolet “blue haze” for optimum viewing.

For exposure periods other than eight hours or for ultraviolet wavelength emissions other than 254nm to 365nm, consult Document HSM 73-11009 “Criteria for a Recommended Standard: Occupational Exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation” published by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

Caution: Although the Goggles and Spectacles are intended to protect the eyes and the Faceshield to protect the face and neck, care must be taken to protect other parts of the body from skin burn associated with shortwave UV wavelengths. Avoid shining any ultraviolet lamp on reflective surfaces. Wear protective clothing and skin cream.

Eyewear meet performance standards of ANSI Z87.1-1989. Spectacle and Goggle lenses are impact resistant, but not unbreakable. Clean all eyewear surfaces with a mild soap solution and inspect frequently. Do not use solvent on lenses. Carefully rinse off all soap. Air dry or pat dry with a clean, soft cloth or tissue. Pitted or scratched eyewear reduce protection. If scratched or broken, replace immediately.
