Abstract:We recently clarified that an isolated head as model does not approximate a whole body for numerically estimating the specific absorption rate (SAR) in the human eye exposed to E-polarized plane wave, even at high frequencies above 0.6 GHz. This letter describes the case of the human eye close to metallic spectacles. As a result, we find that the average SAR is more affected by the body than that of the model without the spectacles. Keywords: biological effects, SAR, eye, spectacles, body effect, planemicrowave Classification: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
