Título Temperature changes in contact lenses in connection with radiation from welding arcs.
Información bibliográfica Sep. 1979, Vol.5, No.3, p.271-279. 13 ref.
Resumen Soft contact lenses were tested with manual metal arc (MMA), tungsten inert-gas and metal inert-gas welding, both free hanging and applied to rabbit eyes. There was a great increase in temperature, especially with MMA welding. At 0.4m distance the lens temperature on the rabbit eye rose from 35 to 50°C within 6min. Most of the lenses dried out during the experiment, and there is a risk that the lens might adhere to the cornea. A safety glass screen (DIN 10A) prevented the rise in temperature in the lens.
