Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the UV-B blocking rate of eyeglasses lens which can prevent enzymes denaturation in cornea. Methods: The denaturation degree of RNase A and catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) was determined by using Acrylamide gel electrophoresis after UV-B irradiation of 312 nm for 1, 3, 6, 24 and 96 hours. Also, the inhibitory effect of eyeglasses lens having UV-B blocking rate of 50%, 80%, 95% and 99% on the enzymes denatration was measured. Results: The denaturation of RNase A was induced by 1 hour-irradiation of UV-B. To inhibit RNase A denaturation after UV-B irradiation between 1 hour and 6 hours, UV-B blocking lens of 95% were effective. UV-B blocking lens of 99% suppressed the inhibition of RNase A denaturation after the UV-B exposure between 24 hours and 96 hours. The denaturation of catalase was not induced by 1 hourirradiation of UV-B. To inhibit enzyme denaturation after UV-B irradiation between 1 hour and 6 hours, UV-B blocking lens of 50% were effective. UV-B blocking lens of 95% suppressed the inhibition of enzyme denaturation induced by UV-B irradiation between 24 hours and 96 hours. The SOD denaturation was not induced by UV-B irradiation shorter than 6 hours exposure. The UV-B blocking lens of 50% could inhibit SOD denaturation after the UV-B irradiation for 24 hours. When SOD was exposed to UV-B for 96 hrs, SOD denaturation was inhibited by eyeglasses lens with UV blocking rate higher than 95%. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the proper UV-B blocking rates of eyeglasses lens to inhibit the enzymes denaturatioin was different according to the types of enzymes and its inhibitory effect was effective only when eyeglasses lens had higher than certain UV-B blocking rate.
