Abstract

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the impact of glasses on the Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) when using wireless eyewear devices during phone calls.

Overview:

The study primarily explores the SAR in the eyes, noted for their sensitivity to electromagnetic fields (EMF).

Findings:

• Wearing glasses significantly alters the SAR distribution and magnitude specifically within the ocular tissues.
• The maximum SAR in the ocular area with glasses was found to be up to six times higher than without glasses.
• Wearing glasses creates new hotspots that may cause significant increases in SAR in the ocular tissues.
• The results also showed that the maximum SAR is affected by the size of the glasses and the frequency of radiation.

Conclusion:

The increased SAR levels due to wearing glasses could increase the health risks to the eyes of eyewear device users. Designers are advised to consider these findings to reduce SAR in eyewear designs. Additionally, users might reduce exposure by adjusting or removing glasses during device use, based on the radiation frequency.

Note: Research here underscores the potential risks but is based on calculations rather than experimental data;
