Abstract |
Performance requirements for personal eye protectors are identified and discussed. Wearer acceptance and material strength are discussed in the contexts of intermittent and day-long use. The best eye protection programmes include the use of high-impact protectors for special operations but are primarily based on the day-long use of properly fitted, optically correct spectacles with lenses of allyl resin or thermally toughened glass. The bulk of the paper is devoted to an examination of the ways in which eye protector strengths are measured. Test procedures are discussed in detail. |
