Ultraviolet light is an invisible band of electromagnetic radiation just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. This band is generally divided into three regions that differ in their effect upon the human body. Ultraviolet light is a natural part of our environment, most commonly found in sunlight. Everyone is exposed to UV sources, natural and/or artificial, on a daily basis. However, unprotected and prolonged exposure to any form of UV light, including long wave UV, can result in cataracts, and possibly cancer. Even brief exposure can be hazardous if the UV intensity is very high. Thus it is advised that the eyes always be shielded for maximum personal safety. When utilizing medium or short wave ultraviolet, the face and skin should additionally be protected.

• Provide maximum protection from exposure to extended or high intensity UV sources
• Both meet ANSI specification Z87.1 for safety eye wear and OSHA standard 1910.133 for eye and face protection.
