Abstract
Exposure to ambient ultraviolet radiation is associated with various ocular pathologies. Estimating the irradiance received by the eyes is therefore essential from a preventive perspective and to study the relationship between light exposure and eye diseases. However, measuring ambient irradiance on the ocular surface is challenging. Current methods are either approximations or rely on simplified setups. Additionally, factors like head rotation further complicate measurements for prolonged exposures. This study proposes a novel numerical approach to address this issue by developing an analytical model for calculating irradiance received by the eye and surrounding ocular area. The model takes into account local ambient irradiance, sun position, and head orientation. It offers a versatile and cost-effective means of calculating ocular irradiance, adaptable to diverse scenarios, and serves both as a predictive tool and as a way to compute correction factors, such as the fraction of diffuse irradiance received by the eyes. Furthermore, it can be tailored for prolonged durations, facilitating the calculation of radiant dose obtained during extended exposures.
