How to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation

UV radiation is a type of non-ionizing radiation within the 100 nm to 400 nm wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is invisible to the eye and divided into three types – UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-A’s wavelength is 315 nm to 400 nm, UV-B’s 280 nm to 315 nm and UV-C’s 100 nm to 280 nm region.
