UV filter

Radiation-blocking lens attachment

A UV filter is a substance or device that blocks ultraviolet radiation.

In photography, it's a lens attachment that reduces haze and protects the glass.

In skincare, UV filters are the active ingredients in sunscreen that absorb or reflect harmful rays.

Aquarium UV filters use ultraviolet light to kill algae and pathogens in water.
