Would the UV damage your eyes or is a question of intensity?
- trhway 8y agoUV do damage because of energy of a single photon enough to break some bonds. It is the amount of damage that depends on intensity. Similar to Monet case, one can get a NIR camera by removing the IR filter in front of typical digital camera.
- Tharkun 8y agoAmbient levels of UV can damage your skin (think sunburns and skin cancer). There is no reason to assume it wouldn't damage your eyes. So wear sunglasses. Off on a tangent: I always wear sunglasses outside. I don't deal well with light, especially when it's bright. Would love to have that particular vision problem corrected, but eh, probably not in my lifetime.
