Controversial opinions have been presented about the use of contact lenses in industrial environments. Work environments contain few obstacles to the use of contact lenses, but many occupations are associated with the risk of excessive difficulties, spoilation , irritation, or complications. From the radiant energy the shorter (280 nm) ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths and the longer (1300 nm) infra-red (IR) wavelengths are absorbed by contact lenses, the absorption increases their temperature and may cause corneal complications. Protective glasses, however, absorb more than 99.5% of the UV and IR energy and thus provide sufficient protection for contact lens wearers exposed to UV or IR radiation. The advantages and risks of contact lenses in industrial work are discussed.
关于在工业环境中使用隐形眼镜，一直存在争议性观点。工作环境对使用隐形眼镜几乎没有阻碍，但许多职业存在导致过度困难、损坏、刺激或并发症的风险。隐形眼镜会吸收辐射能中较短（280纳米）的紫外线（UV）波长和较长（1300纳米）的红外线（IR）波长，这种吸收会使它们的温度升高，并可能导致角膜并发症。然而，防护眼镜能吸收超过99.5%的紫外线和红外线能量，从而为暴露于紫外线或红外线辐射下的隐形眼镜佩戴者提供充分保护。本文讨论了隐形眼镜在工业工作中的优缺点。
