Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the blue-light blocking ratio and luminous transmittance of blue-light blocking lenses using the blue-light hazard function as specified in international standard. Methods: In order to calculate the blue-light blocking ratio and luminous transmittance for a total of 41 blue-light blocking lenses from 8 manufacturers, UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used for measuring the spectral transmittance of wavelengths from 380 to 780 nm. Blue-light blocking ratio was calculated using blue-light hazard function as specified in ANSI Z80.3:2010 and ISO 13666(or Korean Standard KS B ISO 13666:2004). Results: The range of the blue-light blocking ratio was from 9.3 to 96.8%, the range of the transmittance from 53.5 to 92.7%, and the range of the luminous transmittance from 58.0% to 98.1%. In general the blue-light blocking lens prepared by coating tended to have a higher luminous transmittance, while those prepared by tinting a higher blue-light blocking ratio. Conclusions: The behavior of the spectral distribution of lenses showed the possibility of the performance improvement in the blue-light blocking lenses. Manufactures need to acquire their own technology that can evaluate the performance of blue-light blocking lens based in international standard.

목적: 국제표준에서 규정한 청색광위험함수를 도입하여 청색광차단렌즈에 대한 청색광차단율과 시감투과율을 평가한다. 방법: 8개사 총41종의 청색광차단렌즈에 대한 청색광차단율과 시감투과율을 구하기 위해 UV-VIS 분광광도계로 380~780 nm 범위에서의 분광투과율을 측정하였다. 청색광차단율은 ANSI Z80.3:2010 및 ISO 13666(한국표준 KS B ISO 13666:2004)에서 규정된 청색광위험함수를 도입하여 산출하였다. 결과: 전체 렌즈에 대한 청색광차단율 범위는 9.3%~96.8%, 투과율 범위는 53.5%~92.7%, 시감투과율 범위는 58.0%~98.1%이었다. 전반적으로 코팅 청색광차단렌즈는 시감투과율이 높은 경향이 있었고, 착색 청색광차단렌즈는 청색광차단율이 높은 경향이 있었다. 결론: 렌즈분광분포곡선의 분석으로부터 청색광차단렌즈의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 제조업체는 국제표준의 규정에 맞춰 성능을 평가할 수 있는 자체기술을 확보할 필요가 있다.
