I, too, have wondered about this. If you go to a disco, there are many
unshielded UV bulbs in order to get the wierd effects. We were in one in
Greece last year, and it made my "transition" lenses go dark, so there had to
be UV all around. Also, it threw my focus off, and I could not stay in the
room without shielding my eyes from the direct radiation.
