Abstract

The solar UV exposure to the eyes of humans is due to the direct and diffuse components
of solar radiation. The direct ocular UV exposures to the eyes are reduced due to the
natural aversion of the majority of people from looking directly at the sun. The diffuse UV
is incident from all directions and as a result, it is more difficult to minimise the ocular
exposure to this component of the solar UV. As a result, a greater proportion of the ocular
UV exposure is due to the diffuse UV radiation then due to the direct component.
