Abstract
The paper presents the results of investigations on the transmission of electromagnetic radiation from the UV-Vis ranges of organic colored spectacle lenses. All investigated lenses had the same refractive index and one of them differed in the SPF (sun protection factor). The main criterion for the quality of colored eyeglass lenses is eye protection against harmful UV radiation, infrared radiation and excessive exposure to solar radiation. The lenses were measured using a Varian UV-Vis Cary model 300 spectrophotometer. These studies showed that the best protection against this radiation is the choice of coloring in a color other than blue, and that as the power of the colored lens increases, protection against harmful UV radiation decreases.
